Cinephile No. 507 “City of Gold”

Reviews
Written By Nathan Box

If you consider yourself a foodie of any degree, you must see “City of Gold.” Chronicling the impact and power of LA Times food critic Jonathan Gold, this movie pulls back the curtain on his process as he eats his way through the city he loves. Within each review, those of us who don’t call LA home are given a new perspective on the city. We are allowed to see the power of observation, civic pride and the unique ability food possess to bring people together. I, for one, walked out of the theatre with a new appreciation for the City of Angels. No longer is it just a series of strip malls. It is food, culture and the best of America. A critic did that for me and I am confident it can do the same for you.

Thanks for entering my world,

-Nathan

Hello! My name is Nathan. I've always believed I would meet that special someone in one of two places; either a record store or a book store. Maybe I need to amend? I moved to Seattle in February of 2011 from Oklahoma City (Try and not hold the Sonics/Thunder thing against me). I knew I wanted to work for a nonprofit and go to grad school. Within a couple of months, I was doing both. During the day, I work as a Fund Developer and Community Relations Manager for a nonprofit in Kent and at night I try to stay as busy as possible volunteering, trying new restaurants, finding hidden bars and exploring Seattle. The past few years has been both terrifying and exhilarating. I have done things on my own I didn’t think were within my capability. I love being outdoors. On any given weekend, I can be found hiking, on a road trip, volunteering, at a museum, seeing a movie (I see a lot of them). I am passionate about nonprofit work. I feel called to leave a mark on this world. Nothing against those who enjoy making tons of money, I just need to know I am making a difference.
