Jonathan Gold tried to explain the people of LA through its food
City of Gold is about famed Los Angeles Times food critic Jonathan Gold and his view of the city’s food scene. Gold championed small and ethnic restaurants and the different cultures and people they represented. He would often drive around, pull into a strip mall and pick a place to eat at.<br /><br />One example right at the start is Antojitos Carmen which was started by a woman who began with a food cart but when the city cracked down on their trade and closed them up she found an empty shop and opened her own restaurant with her family as the staff. Gold wrote about it and helped them expand their business while highlighting Carmen’s history in the food business from the street to a restaurant. As Gold would later say in the film one of the big revolutions in food criticism in the last few decades was diversity. Before papers would only review European restaurants. Now they review everything realizing that America is made up of all kinds of people like Carmen, not just western Europeans.<br /><br />The film also goes into Gold’s method. He didn’t claim to know everything about the food he ate and when it was something new he would often go again and again. He said his record was 17 times going to one place to try to discover everything he could about it. He also didn’t believe in the anonymous reviewer because eventually your identity would come out. He was often late with his pieces which would drive his editor mad. She said she felt like the responsible older sister and he was the younger genius brother she always had to stay on top of.<br /><br />The movie touches on his family, his early writing when he covered the LA rap scene in the 1980s-90s. How he was into classical music when he was a kid and then became a punk rock musician instead. By doing so it tries to fill out the man Jonathan Gold and not just his food writing.<br /><br />Unfortunately Gold isn’t with us anymore but this movie gives a little slice of his life.
