It's time for Dining Month, presented by Deer District and its spooky Halloween-themed alter ego, Fear District. Throughout the month of October, we'll be serving up fun and fascinating content about all things food. The signature dish, however, is our 2019 Best of Dining poll, who's winners we will dish out all month long. Get hungry, Milwaukee! 

It is that time of year again when our daily cup of coffee, our favorite sweet treats and, well, just about everything gets a fall twist with pumpkin spice. Is it even fall without the overload of pumpkin in every meal? The answer is absolutely not.

But what could be more perfect than a steaming mug of pumpkin spice latte? If it came with a side of pumpkin pancakes, of course!
