This past week, the Pulitzer Prize in the category of criticism, went to food critic Jonathan Gold of LA Weekly. You have probably heard about this because it's kind of a big deal-- no food critic, not even from the New York Times or the LA Times, has ever won the prize. Essentially, this man has been deemed the best critic of anything in the country. So of course, I had to check this guy out.
I never really read LA Weekly, because the print edition is kinda cheap looking and filled with way too many ads; their website seems a bit cluttered, so I tended to avoid that as well. But I finally checked out a few of his articles, and I gotta admit, this guy is pretty awesome: he's not pretentious, his excitement for the food he reviews is obvious, and the way in which he describes the food is pretty impressive.
Is he the best overall critic in the country? I have no idea. But he's certainly a pretty damn good food critic.
