Jonathan Gold profiled in the New Yorker
LA Observed — Dana Goodyear's profile, almost a year in the making, calls the LA Weekly's Jonathan Gold "the high-low priest of the L.A. food scene."

Extra! Extra! Glutster Mentioned in The New Yorker Magazine
Teenage Glutster — Yup! READ ALL ABOUT IT HERE (Summary) It's crazy how it happened really. It all started at the Jonathan Gold's Zocalo Cocktail Party Fundraiser that I couldn't even afford to go to. Apparently, someone had brought me up in a conversation the lovely Dana Goodyear was engaged in...and that was that. The next day we had lunch at Battambang and were talking just how much the Gold meister has influenced and helped my life since I was 16, singlehandedly trailing his every S.G.V find through my high school years while my ...

Vanity Fair | VF.com — ... he “still has full use of his penis,” I found myself feeling strangely aroused. As punishment for their crassness, Will forces the Glee kids to hold a bake sale to raise funds for the short bus. And as justice for stepping on Artie’s flaccid feet, he makes them all ride around in wheelchairs for the rest of the episode. As you can imagine, hilarity ensues, particularly when Rachel gets hit in the face with what looks like a plate of live octopus. (I blame the recent New Yorker ...

Date of the Week: Warehouse Walkabout (Guns, Pool, Pub Food)
Squid Ink — ... Pub and a stark loft had a love child, Royal Clayton's. Stark and cosy rarely go together, but Clayton's somehow pulls it off.
