Dan, Jack, and I loved this documentary about Pulitzer Prize winning food writer Jonathan Gold, whose adventures in ethnic neighborhoods of Los Angeles and beyond have kept mouths watering for decades. Laura Gabbert was nominated for the Sundance Grand Jury Prize for writing and directing. The music, by Bobby Johnston, is uplifting and you can hear some clips here. Apparently there's another composer's music in the movie, too.
Rotten Tomatoes' critics and audiences are in agreement with us, all averaging 90%. I can't find a DVD release date, so I subscribed to the movie's website to find out when it will be possible to stream it.
When you do get to see it, don't turn it off right away because more video plays over the music credits. Afterwards we looked on Yelp and found a great Chinese restaurant that was new to us. This is going on my Food Movie list. Thanks, Mary Ellen, for passing on the suggestion!
