Season's eatings! The weather may be getting colder, but Dining Month on OnMilwaukee is just cooking up, dishing out your winning picks in this year's Best of Dining poll. Dining Month is brought to you by Fein Brothers, your premier food service equipment and supply dealer in Wisconsin since 1929. Congratulations to all of the winners, and happy eating for all those who voted!

Leon’s isn’t just a Milwaukee favorite frozen custard destination for the summer. Open year-round, the classic drive-in was popping on a Sunday night in October, with customers scattered everywhere.

The menu offers a variety of custard treats, from cones to shakes to floats and customizable sundaes. I picked a chocolate custard sundae, with butterscotch sauce and, as an add-in, pecans. The sundae comes with four cherries on top.

The chocolate custard complimented the butterscotch topping, and the pecans added a lovely crunch. Leon’s offers peanuts and Spanish peanuts in addition for pecans, all at an extra cost.

If you’re not a fan of butterscotch, you can try caramel or chocolate sauce – or any of the other toppings, including marshmallow, malt powder, fresh strawberries, raspberries, pineapples and hot fudge.

Plus, the flavor of frozen custard – besides chocolate – can be vanilla, butter pecan or the flavor of the day. And the cherries added something extra sweet on top of the sundae – of course, otherwise they wouldn’t be the true cherry on top.

The custard shop is open 11 a.m. to midnight daily. Make a quick stop at Leon’s, enjoy some frozen custard even as the temperatures head toward freezing. One bite, and you'll be convinced the weather's always right for a sundae.
