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 Sean McPherson about good spots to eat while shopping in the Twin Cities.

"I don't think people realize that shopping is a high intensity activity," James says. "It will take a lot out of you."

Listen to the complete interview above to hear James's advice about where to eat at the Mall of America, Southtown, the Galleria, St. Paul and 50th and France.

Here are the restaurants James discusses in this week's report:

Masu

Gyropolis

Sunrise Market

Sotarol

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.
