Each weekday for the next two weeks, Torontoist is facing off local memes and blog drama in a tournament-style ladder and you, the reader, decide the outcome.
View the full ladder here. Some highlights from Saturday's matches:
416 trounces 905 (95-12): In perhaps the most dramatic victory of the evening, the Toronto area code showed up the surrounding suburbs in a true show of telecommunications muscle.
Miller's Hair buries Zombie Walks (59-47): The closest match, with the mayor's seemingly flawless haircut against the undead, Miller's golden wave came out on top. Only time will tell whether it can compete against the major league Layton's mustache.
Today's matches, Region II, 1st Round:
The Annex vs. SkunksPolls after the jump.
Island Airport vs. Belinda Stronach
Leafs Fans vs. The Club District
Rob Ford vs. Bike Lanes
Street Meat vs. Taste of the Danforth
Turnitin.com vs. Jane Pitfield
Nuit Blanche vs. TIFF
Crack vs. Kensington Market
If you're wondering how you should vote, simply choose the answer that calls to you.

Ok I'm sorry, as if I should be criticizing other people's preferences......
But people are choosing street meat over taste of the danforth?! WHO ARE YOU PEOPLE AND WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU? :)
Maybe they just don't like souvlaki.
Finally sobered up did we?
Come on, James, we're tlaking about Toronto's favourite two-minute meal here.
In the spirit of the Final Four I'd like to cast a prediction: Street meat vs. 416 in the finals.
I dunno, Joe. I think Jane Jacobs has a pretty easy path into the final. Nuit Blanche has got the mojo working today so if it can keep that momentum up fending off Kensington Market and Bike Lanes shouldn't be too hard. So I'll take Jane Jacobs over Nuit Blanche in the final.
So, James: you're seriously promoting a weekend of savoury meat over 365 days of savoury meat?
The real question is WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?
Karen ftw.
Man, street meat isn't something to be celebrated, it's something to eat when you're way past drunk and unable to locate either lebanese food, poutine, or sneaky dees!
I have to point out that as of March 19th 5:12pm, crack has received more votes than Rob Ford. Crack for ward 2!
I love this thread!
GO STREET MEAT!!!
That was alot of fun.
I still say:
Cobra loose in house vs. skunk returned to california
Yessssssssssssss! Taste of the danforth FTW!
EAT IT, STREET MEAT FANS..... well, not literally of course.
street meat falls?! that's what i get for eating gyro yesterday...
I assumed street meat was another word for road kill. Was I wrong?
Street meat is what you get from hotdog/food vendors.
I accuse James of voting multiple times for Taste of the Danforth!
No way!
That election was as clean as an onion fork sitting upside down in the relish dish.
