(The latke usually wins.) They invite reputable professors-- sometimes non-Jews-- to pontificate on either of these two food items, which are not in their own academic specialty, and a grand time is had by all.

My hope is that other people will submit their own "picks," (by clicking on the "predict it" link at the tournament site), and then argue vociferously as to why their choices make more sense than mine. :-) In my head, of course. ;-) I’ll pick a winner for each game, and we’ll see how the tournament plays out.
