Munch Madness 2012
It is time once again for The Boston Globe's annual tournament of restaurants, inspired by the NCAA's March Madness. The bracket of 64 restaurants is divided roughly between contestants from 2011 and new entrants. Last year, Hungry Mother triumphed over 2010 champion East Coast Grill. Who will be this year's victor?
Voting schedule: Log on to vote in Round 1 from March 21-22. For Round 2, vote from March 23-24. Round 3 is March 25-26, and Round 4 March 27-28. That leads us to the Final Four, March 29-30. Voting for the championship will take place from March 31-April 1. We'll tally the results and announce them April 4.
