CHOW's Supertaster and 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 told Jill Riley about his newly coined phrase, "wingman restaurants." What does it mean exactly? Well, James notices that many restaurants in town are opening more casual second restaurants.

James specifically spoke of Restaurant Alma and Brasa, Pizzeria Lola and Hello Pizza, In Season and Kenwood, and Heidi's Restaurant and Birdhouse.

Also, Heavy Table is hosting another round of North Coast Nosh. And tickets are on sale now.
