Hungry Mother Wins Munch Madness

Hungry Mother has won the Globe’s hugely popular, very competitive Munch Madness poll, beating last year’s winner, East Coast Grill. The bracketed contest pitted high-brow against low-, dive against destination. And, in a surprise win, Cambridge’s French-Southern sanctuary trumped the perennial favorite by a whopping 511 votes. Insider tales of hexes, voodoo, and chefs behaving naughtily ran rampant in the days leading up to the high-pressure face-off, but in the end, the fiery wrath of ECG couldn’t halt Hungry Mother’s triumph. What will happen next year? Will Barbara Lynch send threatening notes to the owners of Roxy’s Grilled Cheese? Will Lydia Shire challenge Tony Maws to a pigs’-head duel? We’ll have to wait and see!
