Filmmaker Laura Gabbert follows Pulitzer Prize-winning food critic Jonathan Gold, taking us into his universe to tell the improbable story of a revolution inspired by the pen, but driven by the palate.
It's a documentary that is ostensibly a profile of a man, but is really about the vibrant city he inhabits, beyond the Hollywood sheen and the grit of Compton.
There's an honesty in what Gold writes and the way he writes it, which is why his words have so much impact. The film has a similar impact to one of his reviews.
Gabbert's film is part portrait, part city symphony. It celebrates Gold as a fixture of his native Los Angeles and L.A. as in thrall to its stalwart guide.
