Gold changed American food writing.'TimeThe only food critic to win the Pulitzer Prize for criticism, Jonathan Gold pioneered a humanists approach to reviewing restaurants: COUNTER INTELLIGENCE collects over 200 of his legendary reviews, which were as much about Los Angeles neighborhoods and people as about what you were going to eat. He revealed the hidden kitchens where Los Angeles immigrant communities fed their own, including the best of cuisine from Argentina, Armenia, Brazil, Burma, Canton, Colombia, Cuba, Guatemala, India, Indonesia, Iran, Italy, Japan, Korea, Mexico, Nicaragua, Pakistan, Peru, Thailand, Vietnam and more. Not to mention the indigenous dishes of L.A. car culture: the perfectlyprepared hamburger and the quintessential hot dog.Originally published in 2000, COUNTER INTELLIGENCE remains an entry point to the food of the countrys most diverse culinary landscape; though some of the restaurants it lists have vanished as the twentyfirst century has worn on (and its prices remain a point of nostalgia), you could read it like a novel and be very satisfied (Ruth Reichl).
