Not only is Sunday's game between the Panthers and the Bears one more step toward the Super Bowl, it's also a rematch to a game the Panthers lost earlier in the season. All the attention has lead to a friendly food fight in Uptown.

Panthers fans are ready to put this game behind them and move on, but before they get their chance this Sunday, there's another way they plan to settle the score and it has nothing to do with football.
Matt Sielsky is the owner of Matt's Chicago dogs in Uptown Charlotte. He can't wait for Sunday's rematch and has set up a contest of his own: The Carolina Dog vs. the Chicago Dog.
The Chicago Dog has mustard, pickles, relish, tomatoes and salt. The Carolina Dog has chili mustard, onion and coleslaw.
Carolina Dogs are running away with this competition and it's made for some friendly banter.
The hot dog competition will go through Friday. Sielsky has three restaurants and the Carolina Dog is winning at both locations in Uptown, but in Cornelius the Chicago Dog is winning 65 to 35.
