“City Of Gold” traces food critic Jonathan Gold’s quest for culinary treasure in LA
In director Laura Gabbert’s delightful documentary “City of Gold,” Jonathan Gold, the first food critic to win a Pulitzer Prize, drives around his hometown of Los Angeles, in search of great food in unexpected places, talks about writing, the links between food, nations, neighborhoods and identity. It is a road trip you do not want to miss.
A native of Los Angeles, Gold knows his city and it willing to go to unlikely places in his search for culinary adventure. As the Los Angeles Times restaurant critic, he does not seek out the fancy, trendy, high priced dining spots of the rich and famous to review. Instead, he prowls his beloved city seeking small family restaurants, food trucks and little entrepreneur chef-owned spots offering delicious, affordable food, often that honors a certain country or heritage, or serving innovative fusion cuisines reflecting real neighborhoods. As one commentator notes, Gold is creating a food map of LA.
