City of Gold

Pulitzer Prize-winning food critic Jonathan Gold, with eternal curiosity, razor-sharp intellect, and existential longing, is a culinary geographer taking us where no critic has gone before. He shows us a Los Angeles where ethnic cooking is a kaleidoscopic portal to the mysteries of an unwieldy city and the soul of America. As piping-hot platters are served up, so are stories of immigrants whose secret family recipes are like sacred offerings pledged for the opportunity to build their American Dream.
