The first food critic to be awarded a Pulitzer Prize, Jonathan Gold has long been adored for his writing about LA’s hidden culinary treasures. Mapping Los Angeles through his Odyssey-like quests for new food experiences, Gold reveals a complex, paradoxical urban landscape that will surprise newcomers and locals alike.  Featuring celebrity chefs Roy Choi, David Chang, and the chefs and owners behind some of Gold’s favorites: Jitlada (Thai), Guelaguetza (Oaxacan), Meals by Genet (Ethiopian), and Chengdu Taste (Sichuan), City of Gold explores the rigor, knowledge, and curiosity that make Gold’s style of criticism nationally recognized and offers the rare opportunity to discover Los Angeles through the eyes of its foremost cultural writer, and most loyal fan.
