Top 10 food Twitter accounts you should follow

twittertipsy.jpg
Technology has done wonders for the food community. First was the explosion of food blogs, and then came shows like Wine Library TV, Average Betty and Bitchin’ Kitchen. Now foodies are using Twitter to give and get information about anything and everything related to eating and drinking.

Some reputable chefs, bloggers, magazines/newspapers and food companies haven’t figured out that not following other people on Twitter or only sending out a feed of your content isn’t what Twitter is all about. Others — and not to point fingers, but especially food bloggers — treat it like a chat room, creating so much noise that I don’t find them worth following.

So here are my top 10 food follows on Twitter, followed by other accounts to check out if you’re into food.
