Voters can log in to vote once each round for their favorite restaurant.

Elkhart County Breakfast Wars is running simultaneously with six other county Breakfast Wars as part of Indiana’s Cool North Breakfast Wars project. Indiana’s Cool North is a joint initiative of the Northern Indiana Tourism Development Commission (NITDC) and its member convention and visitors bureaus in Porter, LaPorte, St. Joseph, Marshall, Kosciusko, Elkhart and LaGrange counties. NITDC is the leading regional economic development authority focusing on sustainable tourism through effective partnerships.

The Indiana’s Cool North Breakfast Wars is a follow up from previous competitions such as Burger Wars, Pizza Wars and Taco Wars contests. After 200,000 votes cast in previous years, The View Tavern of South Bend was crowned the Burger Wars Champion, The Wooden Peel of Bremen was crowned the Pizza Wars Champion, and Mila’s Mini Market in Plymouth was our Taco Wars champion for all of Indiana’s Cool North.
