[HillJ]

TrishU, what a list! You made me smile tho. Very dedicated food news and reviews follower!

[TrishUntrapped]

HillJ, till this thread came along I didn''t realize how many food people I followed! Quite a few.

[NYCkaren]

Thanks for this thread. I wouldn't have thought of following some of these folks.

[SmartCookie]

Since you kicked up this thread I thought I'd add another: @angrybflay. This is a parody and not really Bobby Flay. Note: very strong language.

[ivanova]

A lot of the ones I cover are already listed, like Alton Brown, Eric Ripert, Anthony Bourdain, Ruth Bourdain. Here are a few more:

Michael Ruhlman @ruhlman - lots of good inspiration
Eric Asimov @ericasimov
@steamykitchen
@marionnestle
Jeff Houck @jeffhouck - a local food writer, really like his Weekend Eats
@culinarypirate - also a local food and drink writer
Several local restaurants - I love Twitter for this. Several of my favorite restaurants tweet daily specials, new wines and beer added to menu, special events, etc.

[Riverman500]

Eric Ripert - hilarious when he's bickering with Anthony Bourdain

Mario Batali - he tweets about where he's eating in real time

Marc Forgione, Alex Stupak - for new dishes in their constantly changing menus

Eater NY - for the latest in restaurant gossip

I basically follow all of my favorite restaurants and food trucks on Twitter and Facebook. I don't usually follow food critics (except for ex food critics like Frank Bruni and Ruth Reichl) or magazines.
