• By Friday, the winning dish will be announced.
• Tune in the following Monday to nominate another.

And the rules:

• The dish must be from a local restaurant (No chains).

• You must name a specific dish, not just the name of a restaurant.
• A dish cannot "win" more than once, but it can be nominated as many times as it takes for it to win.
