We're halfway through the first round of the 2021 Munch Madness bracket competition, and the Houndstooth Region is a tough one!

With Crimson and White Regions out of the way, the bottom of our bracket is full of some fire restaurants around town. Does the ultimate winner live in the bottom half of the bracket? You get to decide!

Here are the participating restaurants and their current matchups. Who do you think will take the crown?? Pastor's Kitchen won Munch Madness two years in a row, and they're surely not going to give up the No. 1 spot that easily. And with the COVID-19 pandemic ruining their plans for a three-peat last year, it's truly anyone's game in 2021.
