[GIVEAWAY] City of Gold, The Story of LA Food Critic Jonathan Gold, at The Ritz at The Bourse

It’s our second GIVEAWAY this week!

Have you heard about CITY OF GOLD? It’s a documentary film about legendary Los Angeles food critic Jonathan Gold.

Why is this interesting to us here in Philadelphia? Because there are not nearly enough films about food, more specifically food critics, and The Ritz at the Bourse is a wonderful place to see a film!

City of Gold Documentary Los Angeles Food Critic Jonathan Gold


Description about the film is as follows….

In this richly penetrating documentary odyssey, Pulitzer Prize-winning food critic Jonathan Gold shows us a Los Angeles where ethnic cooking is a kaleidoscopic portal to the mysteries of an unwieldy city and the soul of America.

Combing through colorful neighborhoods in his green pickup truck, Gold is sniffing out his next strip-mall discovery—whether Oaxacan grasshopper soup, hand-cut tonkotsu ramen, or a particularly unctuous pad see ew. As piping-hot platters are served up, so are stories of immigrants whose secret family recipes are like sacred offerings pledged for the opportunity to build their American Dream. With eternal curiosity, razor-sharp intellect, and existential longing, Gold is a culinary geographer taking us where no critic has gone before.

If you are interested in seeing this film and want to win 2 passes, simply comment here why you want to go see the movie, then share this post on Twitter tagging @phillygrub and @CityOfGoldDoc with hashtag #CityofGold.

One winner will be selected at random for the two free passes on Wednesday, March 16th.
