Jonathan Gold Enjoys A Nine-Course Weed Feast In Encino
As a Pulitzer-prize winning food columnist,
Jonathan Gold has earned what's referred to in polite circles as "the right to do whatever the eff he wants." And while 9 times out of 10 that means eschewing the latest $85-a-plate schmancy-pants Beverly Hills bistro in favor of a gas station in Arcadia that specializes in Vietnamese meatballs,
he decided a few weeks ago instead to sample Grammar Rodeo, an underground pop-up in the Valley from Starry Kitchen owner Tran Nguyen and chef Laurent Quenioux where diners enjoy a nine-course meal with one unifying ingredient: some primo ganja.
Of course, to be fair, the chef splits about one ounce of choice nugs between 9 dishes x 30 people, so our pal J. Gold wasn't exactly flying high on his way home from Encino, but given the questionable legality of the event (to clarify: this is very illegal), it still falls next to whipped pig brains and ant eggs in a category he calls "transgressive eating." As a Jew that lasted through about a day of Passover before hitting up Bay Cities for a giant loaf of bread, I completely understand, Jonathan.
