Welcome to "Dining Debate," a column aimed at sharing the best foodie finds in our area: Creve Coeur, Florissant, Hazelwood and Maryland Heights.

This weekly feature invites you to nominate and vote on your favorite places for a variety of eats and treats.

How does it work?

Every Monday, we will ask you to tell us your favorite place for a certain edible item.

This week we're looking for good Chinese food. We want to know: Where's the best restaurant to grab a box of takeout rice?

You can let us know your favorite spot by commenting below. You will be able to submit your vote through 5 p.m. Tuesday. 

Then what?

We will post your nominations in an article Wednesday morning. Then it will be time to vote again—this time for the "Dining Debate" champion.

Voting will continue through 5 p.m. Thursday, and we will announce the winner first thing Friday morning. 

If you are really pulling for a certain restaurant, share this column on Facebook and Twitter and ask your followers to vote. 

This column is all about hearing from you!

So, without further ado, lets get the voting started. Patch readers, tell us by commenting below, where is the BEST restaurant in Hazelwood, Florissant, Creve Coeur or Maryland Heights to grab some tasty Chinese food?
