Sweets on a stick or Italian-style fritters? A big decision awaits.

Metro Center newcomer Astro Doughnuts & Fried Chicken emerged victorious from Monday’s competition, beating out the Palm for the second spot in the final four. That means Astro will go up against Pizzeria Orso to see who makes it to the championship round. That should be a tight competition, so be sure to check back on Thursday when it all goes down.

Meanwhile, the time has arrived to select one pastrymaker for the third slot in the final four. Mac’s Donuts, crafter of fried rings on a stick, finds itself up against the Italian-style pastries devoured by brunch-goers at Cashion’s Eat Place in Adams Morgan. This is a big decision—we only have five bouts left to determine a winner—so be sure to choose wisely.
