CHOW's Supertaster and Heavy Table food editor James Norton joins the Current's Morning Show to talk about the local food scene.

Today James Norton spoke to The Morning Show's Jill Riley and Steve Seel about the artisan cheese scene in Wisconsin. Who knew that so much creative and delicious cheese varieties were waiting for us just across the state line.

You can read more about James' cheese adventure in Wisconsin at The Heavy Table, and try to find the cheese locally at Surdyk's, the St. Paul Cheese Shop, or at your local co-op.


James Norton edits the Upper Midwestern food journal Heavy Table. He's also the coauthor of a book on Wisconsin's master cheesemakers. For his Supertaster Daily videos, he samples offerings from supermarket aisles and fast-food menus. You can follow him on Twitter, fan him on Facebook, and subscribe to his YouTube channel.
