We're out to find out where (and what exactly) it is. And we're turning to readers for help.

Here's how it will work:

• Each Monday we'll ask Vienna Patch readers to nominate their favorite dishes in Vienna.
• Each Wednesday, we'll open those nominations for voting.
• By Friday, the winning dish will be announced.
• Tune in the following Monday to read our review of the dish, and, nominate another.

We have just a few rules:

• The dish must be from a local restaurant (No chains).
• The dish must be under $20.
• You must name a specific dish, not just the name of a restaurant.
• A dish cannot "win" more than once.
• Don't worry: if your dish was selected one week but didn't win, you can nominate it again.

Review: They serve up this classic southern favorite at the Maple Ave. Restaurant in Vienna but these aren't your Grandma's chicken and waffles. If, like me, you're no stranger to southern cooking, this is totally different from the original chicken and waffles. Instead of your basic fried boneless chicken breast and buttermilk waffle, they used a stone ground whole wheat breaded chicken leg and a funnel cake Belgian waffle, topped with maple syrup veloute. The readers highly recommended this dish -- as did one of my dining partners on Sunday -- but it didn’t quite hit the mark for me. I’m certain it’s great, I’m just not a fan of serving dark meat with waffles because it’s the fattiest part of the chicken and the maple syrup veloute was too rich for these poor, old taste buds. - Andre Taylor, Editor, Falls Church Patch

While we discourage manipulating a vote, our current voting system can't prevent the practice. So, until our engineers make tweaks, strategize as you see fit. Patch's "Restaurant Commissioner" holds the right to make changes and decisions as necessary.
