Allow me to apologize for being so stingy with the #FollowFriday love of late, but the reality is I just plain suck. And not in the endearing, self-deprecating sense of the term–I’m saying yours truly is a terrible social mediazen who puts his own wants (an hour to myself would be nice) and needs (single malt whiskey, the peatier the better) ahead of those of the Twitterverse/blogosphere.
These folks, on the other hand, continue to feed the inexhaustible infotainment machine, spouting wit and wisdom the likes of which I’ll never know.
Put your hands together for:
* Career comfort seeker Ann Patchett (via @Barry_Estabrook) for the posthumous peek at the inner workings of Gourmet;
* Restaurateur Mark Pastore (via @insidescoopsf) for peeling back the curtain on @OpenTable ‘s cut of the res’y action;
* Fringe police @FairFoodFight for alerting us that the teapartiers won’t want for snacks during the end of days;
* @PriceChopperNY (via @Relevanttrafik) for illustrating how easily virtual assaults can erupt into real headaches;
* @RepShimkus (via @ESQPolitics) for reminding us of the irresistibility of soda and candy;
* The technopologists @flowtown (via @EatingOurWords) for identifying the father of food geekdom;
* Cookstructionist Marina Ekroos (via @SAVEURMAG) for educating as she eats;
* Street food stickler Jessica Strelitz (@jstrelitz) for putting her foot down–or up someone’s ass, as the case may be–when confronted with curd confusion; and,
* Tinseltown sweetheart Kristen Bell (@IMKristenBell) for revealing how even the biggest stars can be humbled by craft services.
Truly eye-opening stuff served up by some real industry players. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed looking over your collective shoulders.
