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 and Steve Seel about the new direction of Parka. The restaurant opened with much fanfare in 2013, but struggled to find an audience and a solid identity. James went to the recently renovated restaurant and reported back his thoughts on Parka 2.0.


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.
