So Excited that our Clients at Post & Beam received the Los Angeles Times Gold Award, named for the late Pulitzer Prize-winning food critic Jonathan Gold. Founding owners Brad and Linda Johnson along with founding Chef Govind Armstrong share the honor with the current owners, Chef John and wife, Roni Cleveland.
The Los Angeles Times Gold Award is given annually “with the idea of honoring culinary excellence and expanding the notion of what Southern California cooking might be. The award celebrates intelligence and innovation, brilliance and sensitivity to aesthetics, culture and the environment,” described Gold in 2017, prior to his death.
Post & Beam focuses on “California comfort food.” The restaurant offers a variety of hand-stretched pizzas and traditional southern comfort food, using local ingredients. Born in Oakland, California and raised in the Outer Banks of North Carolina, Cleveland draws his influences from southern soul food, Carolina BBQ, coastal seafood as well as Neapolitan cuisine, culminating into what he’s coined as “California comfort food.”
This week, foodies and food lovers are encouraged to taste the yumminess of Post & Beam, especially during Black Restaurant Week, which is going on through August 16, 2020. In its fifth year, the event celebrates the flavors of African American, African and Caribbean cuisine. Last year, Post & Bam took home the award for Best Bite!
