Jonathan Gold's Pulitzer Win Called 'Groundbreaking'
"Pulitzer recipients almost always are employees of established daily publications," notes the San Diego Union-Tribune. The paper also points out that Gold's Pulitzer was the first awarded to a food critic. "I always thought you had to have a grown-up job doing something like reviewing operas at The New York Times to get a Pulitzer, not writing about taco stands for the (LA) Weekly," Gold says.
