You don’t have to be a sports fan to enjoy March Madness thanks to all the food writers out there who use Tournament Time as a way to rank restaurants and dishes.

has brought back their annual Taco Madness where users can vote for their favorite taco join.

Even Bloomberg Businessweek is getting into the action with their Gourmet Food Truck Smackdown.

And, the Washington Post has Beer Madness, featuring craft brews.

What kind of food tournament would you like to see?
