Los Angeles Times restaurant critic Jonathan Gold dies at 57

Damn. He was a true pioneer. A documentary about his life and work came out a few years ago. It's well worth a watch for anyone interested:

Nooo! Damn it... The good really do die young... Rest in Peace man, may your palate be sated no matter where your soul may travel.
Rest In Peace, truly did great by bringing a lot of ethnic restaurants to the forefront. The doc about him is really great
Staggering loss for LA and the food world in general. His 101 list was a permanent (updated) bookmark in my browser. The LA Times obituary is worth a read. Apparently he was only diagnosed in early July, so this all happened extremely quickly.
No one knew he was ill :(
I'm crushed by this, maybe the most devestated I've ever been by a celebrity death. He opened my eyes and my palette to worlds right under my nose.
He will be so greatly missed and the city won't be the same without him

Yeah, same. I found myself tearing up a bit reading his obituary. I no longer live in Los Angeles but while I lived there he taught me so much of what I know about food through his reviews.
Unless your name is Ruth Bader Ginsburg, pancreatic cancer is pretty much a death sentence.
Lost a friend a few months ago to this. Diagnosed and dead in about a month's period of time. So fucking horrible.
May he RIP. I've ran into him on several ocassions in dtla at the grand central market during lunch hours. After all the old Times building was several blocks away. His top picks written in the Times introduced me to The great hole in the wall restaurants in the SGV.
Oh man so much in front of you
Be sure to hit up Grand Central Market (Sari Sari Store was his recent favorite), Sqirl, Pizzeria Mozza, Night + Market (any of them); Howlin Rays (Far east Plaza), Guelegetza, Taco Maria to name a few.
I'm a little bummed Vespertine will remain his eternal #1.
Watched City of Gold and tried Guelegetza in honor of him. Man, was he a brilliant writer and it is incredible what he did for the city.

Oh man, this one hurts. After a busy week, I just saw that this had happened.
He showed everyone how much of a food haven LA is, and that you didn't have to look at big fancy places for fantastic cuisine. His advocacy for small, minority-run restaurants pened up my eyes to se many cuisines I never would have other wise known about.
RIP, at the very least he died doing what he loved.
