CH-05. City of Gold

?He’s a man of large appetites, interests and influence, which is well reflected in this enriching film.? INDIEWIRE.

LA’s Jonathan Gold, the only food critic to win the Pulitzer Prize, concentrates on real-people food and family-run places that may have been opened by newly-arrived immigrants. They?re simple establishments that never expected reviews or white people, but were only there to serve great authentic food to people from their own cultures. Gold never reviews a restaurant until he’s eaten there four times, and his amazing sense of taste can instantly identify all the individual ingredients in even the most complex, esoteric dishes. You could learn a lot from him.
