Chowdown Showdown Countdown: Who's Winning the Food Fight?

Each week, Chowdown Showdown takes three local restaurants – one in Tinley Park, one in Orland Park and one in Oak Forest – and pits their dishes against each other to find the best around.

This week we're giving our waistlines a rest, recapping the battles thus far and asking you where we should go next.

The Battle: In our first battle, we made like Mary and had a little lamb, specifically piled on a pita with tomatoes, onions and tzatziki. We went to of Tinley Park, the similarly named but unrelated of Oak Forest and Orland Park's

Winner: In the biggest Greek battle not won by a fake horse, Mickey's of Oak Forest came out on top.

The Battle: In a dog fight that would make any WWI air ace proud, we pitted Orland Park's Widen’s Hot Dogs, Tinley's and of Oak Forest against each other to find the best frank around.

The Winner: Located at an address that's seen places from Lazy Dogs to Gold Coast Dogs to Willie's Wee-Nee Wagon come and go, Diana's Kitchen is making a go of it by serving the best hot dogs out of our chosen dog slingers. .

The Battle: Ah, the humble taco. In the right hands, it's a work of art. In the wrong ones, it's, well, Taco Bell. We went to Tinley's Taco Fresco, Burrito Jalisco of Orland Park and of Oak Forest to find el winner.

The Winner: Burrito Jalisco ganó la batalla de tacos. (By the way, if that's wrong, Google Translate is to blame, not me.) .

What food do you want to see next? Should we be looking for the supreme beef? The choicest chicken? The most salivatory salad?

Got a feud with a friend over who has the best fries, chow mein or whatnot? Tell us the spots and let us play tie-breaker.
