An essential collection bringing together reviews, interviews, and essays by legendary, Pulitzer Prize-winning Los Angeles food critic Jonathan Gold, with an introduction by Ruth Reichl ?Jonathan Gold brought people together. In his many decades of writing about food and music in his beloved Los Angeles, and the world beyond, Gold became known for changing and challenging perceptions and for creating opportunities for people to understand each other better.
As so many noted after his death in 2018, he made us see and eat differently. Five years after his death, Tacos Forever collects the most lasting and important work from a critic who became a guiding light for so many food writers, chefs, readers, and eaters, a multifaceted thinker and writer who was also a frequent champion of immigrant restaurants and traditional businesses that often sailed below the radar of conventional food publications.
During his years covering music, he wrote about grunge and speed metal and was one of the first journalists to document Los Angeles hip hop. Capturing the extraordinary breadth and scope of Gold's work as well as his vibrant, pyrotechnic but always incisive writing, this reader is the perfect place to start for anyone encountering Gold's game-changing criticism for the first time, but also a must-have for his long-time fans.
With an introduction by his longtime friend and colleague Ruth Reichl, and including personal photos, Tacos Forever brings Jonathan Gold's work back to us in all its wild exuberance and warm, generous authenticity.
