Jonathan Gold is a food critic who currently writes for the ''Los Angeles Times'' and has previously written for ''LA Weekly'' and ''Gourmet''. In 2007 he became the first food critic to win the Pulitzer Prize. He is also a regular on KCRW's ''Good Food'' radio program. Gold often chooses small, ethnic restaurants for his reviews, although he covers all types of cuisine. His articles have been collected in the book, ''Counter Intelligence: Where to Eat in the Real Los Angeles''. Gold started out at the ''LA Weekly'' in 1982 as a proofreader while he was studying art and music at UCLA, and by the mid-1980s became one of the paper’s most popular writers. He was music editor for the ''Weekly'' in the 1980s, and held a number of other positions with the paper. With the encouragement of ''Weekly'' founder Jay Levin, he started his Counter Intelligence column in 1986 as a way of exploring Los Angeles’ ethnic neighborhoods, places that often go underreported in other papers. He took the column to the ''Los Angeles Times'' from 1990 to 1996, while also writing reviews of high-end places for ''California'' and ''Los Angeles'' magazines, as well as music stories for ''Blender'', ''Spin'', ''Rolling Stone'', and ''Details''. In 1999, he left Los Angeles to become ''Gourmets New York restaurant critic, and was the first food writer to be honored as a National Magazine Award finalist in criticism by the American Society of Magazine Editors. In 2001, he moved back to Los Angeles, where he revived Counter Intelligence for the ''Weekly'' while continuing to write for ''Gourmet''. In 2012, he returned to the ''L.A. Times''. ==Personal life== Gold was born in Los Angeles; his father was a Jewish probation officer, his mother was a Christian Scientist 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 is married to Laurie Ochoa, former editor-in-chief of the ''LA Weekly''; they have two children.〔Joan Nathan, ("L.A.’s Jewish Top Foodie: Pulitzer-winning food critic Jonathan Gold on his family, his favorite delis, and what makes food Jewish" ), ''Tablet Magazine'', June 27, 2012.〕 Jonathan Gold's younger brother Mark Gold was the long-time president of the Santa Monica-based non-profit organization Heal the Bay and is now the associate director of UCLA's Institute of the Environment and Sustainability. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jonathan Gold」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
