Noodle Madness competition is heating up—just like the piping hot plates of food emerging from the kitchens of the final four contestants: Uncle Chen, Siam Elephant, Phoevermore and Borrello’s. Though the field has narrowed, wide culinary diversity remains; this week voters will choose among Chinese, Thai, Vietnamese and Italian. Coastal View News says, “Vote with your gut!” Visit the restaurants to slurp their noodles firsthand then vote for up to two at coastalview.com.
