Jonathan Gold and Colman Andrews win James Beard Awards
Congratulations to Colman Andrews and the LA Weekly's Jonathan Gold, who took home James Beard awards over the weekend for their tasty food writing. It is unclear at this point whether they won because they have appeared on Off-Ramp, but we'll assume that's the case and offer these interviews from the archive. John Rabe talked with Gold when he won the Pulitzer in 2007; John talked with Andrews after discovering Andrews' 1984 guidebook to LA restaurants ("Best Restaurants LA"), which is a time machine to an entirely different era for food in Southern California. Gold won the Craig Claiborne Distinguished Restaurant Reviews award for his LA Weekly pieces “Sauced,” “Hot Birria, Cold Cerveza,” and “Hare Today”; Andrews won Cookbook of the Year for "The Country Cooking of Ireland." COME INSIDE for the James Beard news release, a way to buy Andrews' book on Irish cooking AND help KPCC; and the entire Gold LA Weekly archive.
