    A Barnyard You Wouldn’t Mind Eating In

    Jonathan Gold is the Pulitzer Prize-winning food writer for the LA Times. This week he reviews Barnyard , a relative newcomer in Venice, helmed by chef Jesse Barber. He describes the food as "deceptively simple" and recommends the risotto alla pilota, braised octopus, the burger, French fries and the sticky toffee dessert.
