We got a variety of answers. And not a lot of the same answers. While we had more than one vote for two locations, and , the rest of the suggetions from readers got only one vote. 

With that in mind, we decided to include all of the locations that were suggested to us in this first week as finalists for the chili Chowdown Showdown. You can cast your vote for your favorite spot by submitting your answer in the poll below. 

Voting will continue through 5 p.m. Friday. Check back first thing Saturday morning to find out if your restaurant has been chosen as this week's Chowdown Showdown Champion for having the best chili in the county.
