    Jonathan Gold is the Pulitzer Prize-winning food writer for the Los Angeles Times. This week he reviews Red Medicine, a restaurant steeped in controversy. Perhaps best known for outing the identity of LA Times food critic S. Irene Virbila, the restaurant is also known for the food which Jonathan describes as “neo-Nordic.”

    He recommends the brassicas, trout roe, chicken dumplings and the dungeness crab.

    Red Medicine

    8400 Wilshire Blvd

    Beverly Hills, CA 90211

    323) 651-5500

    All of Jonathan’s restaurant suggestions can be found on the Good Food restaurant map.
