MSU Culinary Services is competing in the Food Management Menu Madness competition. Colleges and universities selected share a best-selling, student favorite or innovative dish. The items are then matched up against one another in a bracket, with four rounds of voting to determine the winner. It's like March Madness, but for foodies!
