Jonathan Gold dines at Charcoal Venice

Written by

A cabbage baked in embers served with yogurt, sumac and lemon zest. Wood-grilled oysters with seaweed, breadcrumbs and horseradish. A lamb shoulder from Sonoma that’s been aged 35 days and tastes of coriander and honey. These are some of the dishes that Pulitzer Prize-winning food writer Jonathan Gold likes at Charcoal Venice, a new restaurant from Michelin-starred chef Josiah Citrin.
