Pulitzer prize winning food writer Jonathan Gold’s annual list of 99 essential Los Angeles eateries is a big deal for us Angelenos. The man has exquisite taste and a feel for this great city like few other contemporary writers. This year a few motivated foodies have created more user-friendly forms of said list, making it easy for us all to eat our way across the city over the holidays. There’s a Google Maps version here and a spreadsheet here. I’d like to personally recommend the absolutely over-the-top temple of fat, Animal and the revelatory Oaxacan cuisine of Gueleguetza where the Laner family will be having Pavo en Barbacoa this Thanksgiving.
