Aurora is known for our fantastic food scene, and now we're once again getting national recognition for it. We'll take you to the latest spot to be in the running for the prestigious James Beard Award. Also on this week's show, the Aurora Fox kicks off its 40th season with "Gee's Bend." We have a preview of the show and a special in-studio performance featuring Harriet Tubman; the Aurora police department's K-9s need your help getting potentially life-saving protective gear; and we team up again with the Aurora History Museum for "Name that Mystery Object." Those stories and many more this week on Aurora Now.
