For everyone who's ever wanted some food suggestions from L.A.'s top food critic Jonathan Gold, there's now a chat bot for that.

Food lovers across the country turn to him for advice and he's considered a treasure by many here in Southern California.

L.A. Times food critic Jonathan Gold has won lots of accolades. Not the least of which, he's the first food critic to win a Pulitzer Prize.

You'd think that would be enough. But no.  Now, he's got a bot.  

You can ask the Goldbot for suggestions, and get answers, with a Gold twist.

L.A. Times digital editor Melissa Leu helped put the chatbot together she spoke to A Martinez and Libby Denkmann with the man who's mind somehow powers the Goldbot: Jonathan Gold.
