What is the best taco spot in Fort Collins? Help us decide in this year's food bracket
Just like the green foliage that starts poking out of Fort Collins' early spring soil this time of year, I too felt a seasonal compulsion earlier this month.
The days were getting sunnier. The promise of spring was suddenly lingering in the air. March felt oh-so near.
It was time ... time to bring back the Coloradoan's annual March Madness food bracket.
We've had fun with this in years past — building brackets and counting your votes for Fort Collins' favorite breakfast burrito, burger, wing, bakery and, most recently, sandwich.
Relive the glory of our 2023 bracket: And the best sandwich in Fort Collins is ...
So, what does the Coloradoan have in store for this year's bracket? Oh, we'll give you something to taco-bout.
That's right, our 2024 March Madness food competition will feature a taco bracket.
Here's how it will work. Once we've narrowed down this year's field of contestants (with your help), you'll get the opportunity to vote for your favorites here on Coloradoan.com as part of the single-elimination competition during the week of March 4. Our champion will be announced March 12.
Before we get to the voting fun, however, we want to hear from you as we build this year's bracket. Here is our initial list of taco bracket contenders. If you don't see your favorite, scroll to the bottom and nominate it via the included online form.
