Welcome, loyal Patch users, to the premier edition of the West County Food Fight, where we'll look for your help to highlight the best places in the area for pizza, barbecue, burgers and more. With our first edition in 2012, as we head into the heart of wintertime, we start with coffee.

What's your favorite spot for coffee in West County?

Here's how it works:

• Each week, we'll ask a question about your favorites.
• We invite you to post your nominations in the comments below.
• We hope you'll also spread the word about this every week to your friends on Facebook or Twitter and get them involved. 
• Submit comments until 5 p.m. Wednesday.

Then:

• We'll take the top three or four nominees and post an article first thing Thursday morning.
• That article will include a poll highlighting the top nominees.
• After the poll starts on Thursday, you'll be able to vote till Friday at 5 p.m.
