Munch Madness: Second Round Begins with Sushi Sen vs. Sunny Street Cafe

You've heard of March Madness. This is Munch Madness—Patch's attempt to find the best restaurant in St. Charles County.

With all votes accounted for, Patch's first-ever St. Charles County Munch Madness tournament kicks into high-gear with the opening of the second round today!

Munch Madness runs along the same lines as the much-hyped college basketball tournament, except it uses St. Charles County restaurants instead of college basketball squads. 

That's right, 64 restaurants all vying for top status in the county. All matchups were found by creating a randomized list via random.org.
