What if you start a Food Fight and nobody wins?
That was the situation when Caliente asked for your comments on where to find which Tucson restaurant makes the best quesadilla.
More than 70 readers participated and nearly all of them had different ideas on which quesadilla was the top contender.
The tortilla-and-cheese offering at El Guero Canelo got four votes, which is hardly enough to declare it the winner of anything.
Plenty of other quesadillas at plenty of other Tucson restaurants also got a thumbs-up.
Allison Tona is a longtime fan of the quesadillas served at the Thunder Canyon Brewery at the Foothills Mall.
"They are crispy on the edges with lots of extra cheese, salsa and sour cream," the 25-year-old secretary said. "Just make sure to order it with chicken and a margarita on the side."

Dave "Moondogg" Schwartz, 51, prefers the "quesadilla especial" from La Parrilla Suiza.
"They really make a primo quesadilla," Schwartz said. "It comes loaded with lots of gooey cheese. I need to take some Rolaids just thinkin' about it!"
Teacher Tracey M. Rowley offered up the most intriguing option, the brie quesadilla from Rio Café.
"They are to die for," Rowley said. "The brie melts just enough over the ripe pears. I crave this delectable offering, and eat it as a dinner paired with pinot grigio."
And Bruce Johnson, a truck broker who now lives in Idaho, misses the green chile and carne seca quesadillas from Casa Molina del Norte.
"Topped with their legendary salsa, their quesadilla is outstanding," Johnson, 56, said. "Just talking about this delicacy makes me drool."
Julie Bell, 42, also enjoys a good quesadilla, especially when they come from Zivaz Mexican Bistro.
"The Zivaz quesadilla is a perfect combination of flavors," Bell said. "There are lots of hot melty cheeses and beans. It is advertised as an appetizer, but it comes as a meal with scoops of sour cream, guacamole, and pico de gallo on the side."
