Jonathan Gold's prize

Kevin Roderick • Bio • Email

Regarding LA Weekly food critic winning the Pulitzer for criticism...

Bravo -- and a pants-unbuttoned standing ovation -- to the Pulitzer committee for recognizing our beloved Jonathan Gold! I can think of no other food journalist more deserving of this honor. For more than 20 years now, there isn't any single reporter who has affected my day-to-day life more than Gold.

I can't count how many Saturday afternoon adventures were sparked by the mad pursuit of Gold's latest "find!" How would we ever have known how to venture into Koreatown? Or where to find broiled snake in Rosemead? Or why we should drive to the far reaches of the San Fernando Valley in search of ....a taco? Gold changed the way we view our food and our city and thus made more than a small contribution to helping the people of our magnificent metropolis "just get along." If there's one thing we all have in common it's that we all love to eat!

A remarkable woman

I drove over to the Van Nuys city hall Friday to see my friend June Sale honored by the Los Angeles City Council for her decades helping children. It was a fine event both for June and for the way it called attention to her vital programs.

Chicken Corner is flying the coop

Dear Readers, it's true. Chicken Corner has decamped. Just a few months ago, I believed I might possibly never move from my house in Echo Park, and now here I am moved out of that house and on my way to Cincinnati, Ohio. (Via I-40.)
