City of Gold
CITY OF GOLD chronicles Pulitzer Prize-winning restaurant critic Jonathan Gold’s deep and complex relationship with the food and culture of his city, Los Angeles. Gold has long been known for his robust writing about the hidden culinary treasures in LA; he was one of the first critics to review small family owned restaurants in far-flung ethnic enclaves with as much care as the haute cuisine establishments of Beverly Hills.
With a stroke of his pen, he’s changed the lives of countless recent immigrants cooking the food of their homes. CITY OF GOLD also explores the rigor, knowledge and compassion that makes Jonathan’s style of criticism stand apart. This film offers the rare opportunity to see Los Angeles through the eyes of its foremost cultural writer, and most loyal fan.
