JONATHAN GOLD: IS THERE SUCH A THING AS LOS         ANGELES CUISINE?

Buffalo has chicken wings, Philly has cheesesteaks and Chicago has deep-dish pizza, but what’s LA got? Join Pulitzer Prize-winning food writer Jonathan Gold as he moderates a panel of such local prominent chefs as Michael Cimarusti of Providence, Octavio Becerra of Palate Food & Wine and Evan Kleiman of Angeli Caffe (and host of KCRW’s “Good Food”) for a look at LA’s present food identity. We have Asian fusion, McDonald’s and Caesar salad under our belt, so what’s next?
