Dog menus, Dumpling Fest and even more 'Top Chef'
Because dogs are great, most Milwaukee’s eateries are more than happy to cater to canines — usually with a bowl of water or a couple treats. But a few have really stepped it up with proper dog-specific menu items or, in the case of this episode’s lead item, entire dog menus.
We also cover the rest of the city's culinary scene, including a couple unfortunate closings, even more Top Chef, the return of Dumping Fest and the debut of ... VeganMania?

There's also the revival of two revered pizza places, a new Japanese restaurant in Bay View, a very Milwaukee cookbook and, of course, lively conversation about the latest Top Chef and the great fish boil debate it sparks.
