Readers love their French fries. That was evident in this week's Chowdown Showdown, where there were about 50 comments posted to answer the all-important question: who has the best French fry in northern Lake County?
Based on your votes on Patch, and on Facebook and Twitter, here are the top three contestants in Grayslake, Lake Bluff and Libertyville. Now it is time to select the Chowdown Showdown French Fry Champion.
Please note a change (outlined in the PDF at right) to way winners will be named. A point system will be used to score the contenders, which will be judged based on votes as well as on ratings in our business directory, Patch Places. In the event of a tie, the restaurant with the most positive comments on its listing and on this story will be declared the champion.
Votes (one per person, per day, please), ratings and reviews left before 5 p.m. Friday will be counted toward this week's totals. We'll announce the champion on Saturday morning.
So cast your vote - which of these French fry finalists deserves to be named the Patch Chowdown Showdown Champion?
