Like a famous film director, L.A. Weekly‘s star food critic gets his name above the title these days. “Jonathan Gold Presentsâ€Â is what it says on the paper’s announcement of this Sunday’s tasting event at the Petersen Automotive Museum. And why not?

If we’re lucky, most of us get one, maybe two years of white truffles and $150 bottles of Champagne on Valentine’s Day before we settle into true love — and real life. (Actually, we’re quite fond of shitakes and $10 Prosecco.) But occasionally, we all get that sentimental longing for a romantic dinner on Valentine’s [...]

Punxutawney Phil may have seen his shadow a few days ago, but here in the SoCal farmers’ markets, early spring green is already here.
