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

Heavy Table Editor James Norton joins Jill Riley and Sean McPherson to talk about sushi — where to go out for sushi, and where to shop for making sushi at home.

"It's been a warm summer in a lovely way," he says, "but it's the time of year when you're looking for something a little lighter, a little cooler, and little more refreshing, and sushi, for me, really fits the bill."

Here are the area sushi purveyors James talks about on the program:

Restaurants:

Kyatchi - 38th and Nicollet, Minneapolis

Obento-Ya Japanese Bistro - 1510 Como Ave SE, Minneapolis

For making sushi at home:

Coastal Seafoods - 2330 Minnehaha, Minneapolis; Snelling and Grand, St. Paul

United Noodles (for rice and other supplies) - 2015 E. 24th Street, Minneapolis

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.
