Twitter Food Council celebrates cooking and eating
As an American, I have an obsession with food -- it is a big part of our culture. As my last name implies, I also have some Italian heritage, meaning the act of eating is not only a means of staying alive, but a way to celebrate pretty much everything. Heck, I even love watching cooking shows and competitions -- Chopped is my favorite.
As a tech-guy who loves social media, I also share pictures of my meals with friends and family on Facebook and Twitter. Speaking of the latter, there is an all-new 'Twitter Food Council' and associated hashtag (#FoodFlock). This new initiative is a way for lovers of food -- chefs, bakers, eaters, etc. -- to share their love of culinary arts on the social network.
"Food lovers can now find even more to talk about on Twitter with the Twitter Food Council, a group of leading culinary figures who regularly join the Twitter conversation on all things food and food culture. Led by chef Alex Guarnaschelli (@guarnaschelli), the Twitter Food Council includes top chefs and influencers representing different cuisines and interests. Anyone who wants to join the conversation and interact with Council members can simply Tweet with the official hashtag, #FoodFlock", says Janice Morris, Lifestyle partnerships, Twitter Media,
Morris further shares, "food is communal by nature, which is why these chefs and influencers Tweet their experiences as they happen. From Twitter Q&As, to Periscope chats, to Tweets from behind the scenes as a new project unfolds, you can interact directly with the experts and find daily inspiration in #FoodFlock Tweets".
Whether or not you are eating at Taco Bell, Nobu, or just cooking at home, you can easily snap a pic and share it to Twitter with #FoodFlock and #TweetWhatYouEat. If you are hungry and unsure of what to eat, searching for the aforementioned hashtags on Twitter can certainly give you inspiration -- you may even find yourself trying something new.
