Earlier this week we dug up a piece on Fergus Henderson, now we present another food hero, the estimable Jonathan Gold of L. A. Weekly. The current issue of The New Yorker gives him a profile, which in reality is almost as impressive as his Pulitzer for food writing. The full article isn’t online, you need to hit the newsstand for more, or be a subscriber to read the online version. Look for the current issue pictured above.  One of our cities biggest culinary failings is the lack of a local equivalent, an adventurous eater that recognizes this cities pleasures can lay outside the downtown peninsula. Someone willing to brave the wilds of Scott Road to uncover chaat or Coquitlam in quest of Korean fried chicken.
