Career


In 1982, while studying art and music at UCLA, Gold began working at LA Weekly as a proofreader.[1] He met his future wife, Laurie Ochoa, there, and the couple followed each other to later jobs at other publications.[2][3] Gold was an editor for the Weekly in the 1980s in the Weekly's music section,[3] initially writing about classical music then hip-hop,[4] and held several other positions with the paper. With the reluctant support of Weekly's founder Jay Levin,[1][5] he started his column "Counter Intelligence" in 1986, reviewing underreported restaurants in the ethnic neighborhoods of Los Angeles.[3] The column eventually moved to the Los Angeles Times, where Gold wrote from 1990 to 1996, while also writing reviews of more upscale restaurants for California and Los Angeles magazines, as well as music stories for Blender, Spin, Rolling Stone, and Details.[1][6] In 1999, he moved from Los Angeles to New York City to become a restaurant critic for Gourmet magazine.[2] His work at the magazine was twice picked as a finalist for the National Magazine Award in criticism by the American Society of Magazine Editors.[7]


In 2001, when Ochoa became editor of the Weekly, Gold also moved back to Los Angeles, reviving Counter Intelligence for the Weekly while continuing to contribute to Gourmet.[1][2] At the Weekly, he published a popular annual best-restaurants list, called "Jonathan Gold's 99 Essential LA Restaurants"; when he later moved back to the Times, the list expanded slightly to become "Jonathan Gold's 101 Best Restaurants".[8]


Gold became the first food critic to win the Pulitzer Prize in 2007;[9] the citation referenced his "his zestful, wide ranging restaurant reviews, expressing the delight of an erudite eater."[10] In 2012, Gold returned to work at the Los Angeles Times,[11] succeeding S. Irene Virbila as food critic for the paper.[12] In 2017, he founded the paper's L.A. Food Bowl festival.[4]


Describing his work in the LAist, Megan Garvey wrote: "It would be difficult to overstate Gold's impact on the culture of food in Southern California. His reviews of L.A.'s restaurants drew international attention."[8]Anthony Bourdain described Gold as "the first guy to change the focus from white tablecloth restaurants to really cool little places in strip malls"—a subject for which Bourdain also became renowned.[8]


Gold was the subject of the 2015 documentary film City of Gold,[13] which premiered at the Sundance Film Festival.[14]



Personal life


Gold was born in Los Angeles; his father was Jewish and worked as a probation officer, his mother was a teacher who converted to Judaism. While a freshman at UCLA, he worked briefly at a kosher restaurant owned by Steven Spielberg's mother, Leah Adler. He married Laurie Ochoa, an editor at the Los Angeles Times[8] and former editor-in-chief of the LA Weekly; they had two children.[3][15]


Jonathan Gold's younger brother Mark Gold was the long-time president of the Santa Monica-based non-profit organization Heal the Bay[16] and is now the associate director of UCLA's Institute of the Environment and Sustainability.[3]



Death


In July 2018, Gold was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer.[9] He died on July 21, 2018, at St. Vincent Medical Center in Los Angeles at the age of 57, a week before his 58th birthday.[17]


On July 28, 2018—what would have been Gold's 58th birthday—several buildings and landmarks in Los Angeles were lit in gold as a tribute to his memory.[18]
