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

This week on Eating and Drinking, James joins Jill Riley and Sean McPherson (in for Steve Seel) to review the new Cafe Racer Kitchen, the bricks-and-mortar manifestation of the popular Cafe Racer food truck.

Located in the Seward neighborhood in Minneapolis, James says Cafe Racer Kitchen is "part of one of my favorite new eating and drinking trends: People do a food truck, and they turn that food truck into a restaurant."

James finds the menu simple, healthy and affordable. "I would put it in the world of Brasa, World Street Kitchen, Sassy Spoon," he says. "It's got some global influence to the food, and I think the emphasis is really on stuff that is clean and simple."

A menu item James is particularly enthusiastic about is Cafe Racer Kitchen's braised pulled pork, which is garnished with crisp sweet potato, sriracha and cilantro aiolis, and pickled red onions, and it is served on arepa.

Listen to the complete interview above to hear James's complete review of Cafe Racer Kitchen. There is also a feature about the restaurant on the Heavy Table website.

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.
