Second Round (Darien)
El Burrito Loco vs. Thai O'Cha
El Burrito Loco: El Burrito Loco offers many choices of Mexican food, from specialty combination meals such as carne asada con camaron and shrimp fajitas to well known favorites including enchiladas, quesadillas and tacos.
Thai O'Cha: This family-operated Thai restaurant has been a popular eating place in the Darien area since 2001.
Second Round (Downers Grove)
Cedar Grill vs. Thai Pot
Cedar Grill: Cedar Hill offers a large menu of Mediterranean dishes. Beef, lamb and chicken kabobs are offered as dinners or as a sandwich wrap with hummus.
Thai Pot: Owner Tiffany Amprachna, a native of Bangkok, uses family recipes for the restaurant's authentic dishes, which include the popular Crab Rangoon, Pad Thai, spicy basil chicken and Thai tea.
Second Round (Lemont)
La Dolce Vita vs. PC's Pancake Cafe
La Dolce Vita: One of three locations, the Lemont La Dolce Vita is a beautiful, inviting place to eat. The interior is very nicely decorated, and the staff is just as warm and welcoming as the decor.
PC's Pancake Cafe: This restaurant's cozy, family-friendly atmosphere starts at the front door. The staff is very friendly and helpful, ensuring that every guest feels welcome and ready to chow down on what the hostess calls "great food."
Second Round (Woodridge)
Nonnie's Pizza vs. Pepe's Mexican Restaurant
Nonnie's Pizza: Most menu items are made from scratch. The family pizza recipe dates back 50 years, but the wings and sauces are also hugely popular.
Pepe's Mexican Restaurant: Specialties include enchiladas with chicken, pork or steak, chicken or steak fajitas and combination plates if you can't pick just one item.

Because we could only submit 16 restaurants for Munch Madness and we're now down to 8, we're going to run into some weird pairings. It's possible the final four (finalists from each participating town) could be a mix of pancakes, pizza, tacos and sushi. Seems odd, I know. But we have to get down to one restaurant! Thanks for voting!
