Jonathan Gold, Pulitzer Prize-Winning Food Writer And Lover Of All Things Los Angeles, Has Died At 57

Jonathan Gold changed the dining scene in Los Angeles, and changed food criticism all over the world. He died soon after being diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. “‘I can’t imagine the city without him. It just feels wrong. I feel like we won’t have our guide, we won’t have the soul,’ said filmmaker Laura Gabbert, who directed City of Gold, a 2015 documentary that followed the legendary critic as he ate his way through and reflected on Los Angeles. ‘It’s such a loss. I can’t wrap my head around it.'”
