Munch Madness: Padavan's vs. B. Halls For the Championship

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

And it all comes down to this. After more than a thousand votes just two fantastic restaurants remain as in the St. Charles County Munch Madness bracket! Your vote will determine which restaurant will be named the Munch Madness champion!  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.  In the Final Four, St. Charles' Padavan's NY defeated Lil' Mickey's Memphis Barbecue from St. Peters; and B. Hall's, of O'Fallon, defeated 54th Street Bar and Grill from Wentzville. How do they advance, you ask? It all depends on your vote—on the site, our Facebook page and Twitter feed!

I think my first reply went to the wrong place. Is Vette's still around? GREAT wings. I could still feel the burn on my lips 5 minutes after finishing them. I haven't been there in, maybe, 15 years. Culpepper's, also good. Hooter's, ditto. I haven't tried the wings on the poll, but I will.   more ›

Also to start, steer towards cooked, until you are adventuresome enough to try some raw. Don't eat raw sushi if you are pregnant.   more ›
