For the ninth straight year, October is Dining Month on OnMilwaukee, presented by the restaurants ofPotawatomi Hotel & Casino. All month, we're stuffed with restaurant reviews, dining guides, delectable features, chef profiles and unique articles on everything food, as well as voting for your "Best of Dining 2015."

You all voted for hometown favorite, Chef Thomas Hauck of c.1880 in the Thomas’ Hometown Breakfast Battle last month, right?

Well, we’ve got sad news. Hauck didn’t make it into the next round. However, another Wisconsin chef has made it into the top four of this national breakfast competition.

Christopher Mangless of Three Three Five in Green Bay, is still in the running. And you can help him advance to the top two by casting your vote for his Door County Cherry Bread Pudding French Toast.

Show your Wisconsin pride by voting for Chef Mangless online at ThomasBreakfastBattle.com (just click on the dot representing Milwaukee on the map to vote).

You can vote for your favorite chefs' creations (up to three) once a day throughout the contest. Voting for this round ends on Oct. 19.

Lori is an avid cook whose accrual of condiments and spices is rivaled only by her cookbook collection. Her passion for the culinary industry was birthed while balancing A&W root beer mugs as a teenage carhop, fed by insatiable curiosity and fueled by the people whose stories entwine with each and every dish. She’s had the privilege of chronicling these tales via numerous media, including OnMilwaukee and in her book “Milwaukee Food.” Her work has garnered journalism awards from entities including the Milwaukee Press Club. 

When she’s not eating, photographing food, writing or recording the FoodCrush podcast, you’ll find Lori seeking out adventures with her husband Paul, traveling, cooking, reading, learning, snuggling with her cats and looking for ways to make a difference.
