It's that time of year again folks, when we gear up to put together the most comprehensive Dining Guide around.

It's a mammoth task, and we're tired of toiling away at it alone. So we need your help.

Over the course of five days this week, we will post 25 probing questions on www.indy.com in order to find out which local restaurants make your "favorites" list, and why. The best answers might appear in print when we unveil our upcoming annual dining guide.

But if being included in Indy.com the Magazine isn't enough incentive for you, remember that posts also equal Karma points, which means a greater chance of winning that MacBook Air, the iPhone or the iPod Nano we're giving away in March.

So get to it. Your time starts now.
