jonathan gold's counter intelligence is more than just a restaurant guide. jonathan goldencourages you to brave the freeways and takes you to joints in LA neighborhoods that you might not think about when flipping through those other guides. even if you don't live in los angeles, jonathan gold's writing is enough to make you read it from cover to cover.

where have you been all my life, mr. gold? it was this book that got me discovering all the little food nooks and crannies that LA has to offer. it's also as much of a good read as it is a great directory--mr gold is so descriptive about the restaurants' food as well as their 'hoods, their customers, and their history that you feel like you're there.
