Live discussion: It’s lunchtime with Jonathan Gold!

Have a craving for Thai food? Need a recommendation for Ethiopian? Want to know where to find the best sushi in the city?

Maybe you've read L.A. Times restaurant critic Jonathan Gold's list of the 101 best restaurants in Los Angeles and you're wondering why your favorite spot didn't make the list. Or maybe you're just curious about how he chooses which restaurants to review each week.

Need more culinary questions answered? Gold's your man.

Come back here Wednesday at noon for a live chat with Gold.

And if you haven't browsed the 101 yet, it's available to our L.A. Times members here. Make a digital brag list with all the restaurants on the list you've already visited, and create a wish list for the ones you can't wait to try.
