The big media news today is that LA Weekly's Editor, Laurie Ochoa, is "parting ways" after eight years of leading the paper (she also worked there in various roles from 1978 to 1998). As that news hit, foodies were abuzz that is must be due to her husband, Pulitzer Prize winning food critic Jonathan Gold, being offered the Food Editor position at the New York Times. However, a source close to the matter at hand told LAist that Ochoa was fired and that Gold is staying.




Haha, new yorkers would have a heart attack if their NYtimes food editor was someone who openly acknowledged some of the best food in a city isn't sold in overpriced exclusive luxury restaurants.
Oh PLEASE tell me the source was true and that Jonathan Gold is staying!
