This past March, we teamed up with Robert John & Associates to bring you the first-ever MENU MADNESS. The food competition started with the 64 best signature dishes from local restaurants here in Southern Indiana and Western Kentucky. Your votes determined which dishes would move on to the "Sweet & Savory 16" and then on to the "Elite Treat 8." Winning dishes then advanced to the "Flavorful Final 4" and then the "Tasty Two."

The winning dish from Southern Indiana, according to your votes, was the oatmeal cream pie from Be Happy Pie Company.
