And the tournament is underway. The results are in from Round 1 of this year’s Munch Madness restaurant bracket. Appropriately for New England, seafood dominated, with Saltie Girl, Island Creek Oyster Bar, Eventide, Ostra, Loco Taqueria & Oyster Bar, and O Ya moving on to Round 2. O Ya beat Uni by more than 500 votes in the Battle of the Swanky Sushi. And in the Battle of the Dumplings, Myers + Chang trounced Gourmet Dumpling House by more than 1,000. Mexican food also came on strong: Loco, the Painted Burro, Taqueria El Amigo, and Lone Star Taco Bar all move on to the next round, the last two facing off against each other.
