Amongst the many distinguished persons who won a Pulitzer Prize for their witty, insightful writing this year was Jonathan Gold - food critic for LA weekly. This is the first time a food critic has ever been awarded the Pulitzer Prize. He is also the same person I've referred to here in an earlier blog. Again, I highly recommend his book Counter Intelligence: Where to Eat in the Real Los Angeles - even if you never step foot in Pie 'n Burger or deem it necessary to stop by Casa Bianca for a heavenly slice of pizza.
Gold's work can be read at LAweekly.com, and here is a great sample of his work. This story is on The Donut Man, which has also been discussed here. I think you'll quickly see the difference between a Pulitzer Prize winner and some schmoe like me.
Also, the LA Times received a Pulitzer Prize for its editorial piece on the deterioration of the world's oceans. You can read the article again at latimes.com, or by clicking here.
Finally, here is some other great writing from the car critic at LA Times.
Enjoy.
