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 Steve Seel and Jill Riley about the food that really represents Minnesota culture. In the aftermath of #Grapegate (re: the NY Times article claiming the most popular Thanksgiving food in MN was a grape salad), James investigates what can truly be considered Minnesota food.

Also, James and Heavy Table will be celebrating "native food" at the Minnesota History Center on February 19.
