After four weeks of voting in an online bracket-style competition, where readers picked between 16 competitors to decide which one is Louisville's favorite spot for French fries, a winner of Starch Madness has been crowned.

The final salty match-up was between Burger Boy and Toasty's Tavern, with votes cast at courier-journal.com and Instagram.com/courierjournal.
