An index of the week's tastiest restaurant, dining and food
entertainment tweets.
Eric Cunningham (@EricCunningham) gives
chips the gravitas they deserve: "When I eat chips alone
in the kitchen, I imagine my life shown on a 4-way splitscreen with
whatever world leaders are doing right then."
Spike Mendelsohn (@ChefSpike): The former
Top Chef contestant and chef/owner of Good
Stuff Eatery and We, The
Pizza wins the photo of the week award by capturing a
delightfully morbid combination of death and bacon in his picture,
captioned "
The most glorious afterlife".
The Big Gay Ice Cream Truck (@biggayicecream):
If they ever get bored running their big gay successful mobile
creamery, the guys behind the Big Gay Ice Cream Truck may have a
future in game development: "I want to start a new game
craze. It's kinda like paintball, but you just have a satchel of
cupcakes to peg people with. Wanna play?"
Ottavia Bourdain (@OttaviaBourdain):
MMA enthusiast/Anthony Bourdain's better half weighs in on food,
technology and failure: "I'm so out of it today I just answered the
Shake Shack buzzer as if it was my phone #fail."
Village Voice (@VillageVoice): The
twitterverse was abuzz with updates about Lady Gaga's parents'
opening a restaurant in NYC. The Village Voice scored with
back to back tweets: "Lady Gaga's parents' restaurant is getting
panned by critics. 'The calamari [is] like leather.' " followed by
"If Lady Gaga wears leather calamari at next year's VMAs, we'll
know why."
Conan O'Brien (@ConanOBrien): Coco's
tweets are worth creating a Twitter account for alone. Highlights
of late include "Being a celebrity means I can get any
restaurant reservation when George Clooney cancels at the last
minute." and "When I really need a good laugh, I
just imagine Edward Scissorhands attempting to eat crab
legs."
Food Network Humor (@FNHumor): In keeping
with the Conan theme, Food Network Humor tweets "What's More
Disgusting Than Watching Guy Fieri Eat? That's right, watching Guy
Fieri eating in reverse. Thanks, Conan. bit.ly/z6vbrY"
AJC (@AJC): The Atlanta
Journal-Constitution cleverly re-wrote one of their own
headlines: "Waffle House driveby: Targets scatter as
#Lawrenceville Hwy restaurant smothered, covered with
bullets." (No one was injured.)
