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 food trucks of summer. At Heavy Table they've been following the food truck explosion with their Street Food Directory. And they've noticed the Twin Cities reaching a saturation point that has caused 20 or so to go out of business in the past year. He focused on a few of his favorites: Hot Indian Foods, Brava on Wheels, and Tru Pizza Truck.


James has also written a book of short stories that he's started a kickstarter for. If you are interested in the book, you can check out more information about The Wendigo's Credit Card and Other Stories here.


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.
