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


Today on The Morning Show's Eating and Drinking, James Norton chatted with Jill Riley about his adventures in Timpano. What exactly is that? A special Italian dish that is cooked in a drum-shaped bowl and takes the entire day to prepare.


James Norton edits the Upper Midwestern food journal, Heavy Table. He's also the co-author of a book on Wisconsin's master cheesemakers and editor of The Secret Atlas of North Coast Food.
