Here's How You Can Interact With Your Favorite Chefs On Twitter's New Food Council
Twitter just announced its second significant project in the culinary world. Last year, the social network launched a Twitter Food page that curates the best food content on the site. Now this year, a team of chefs and food personalities led by chef Alex Guaranschelli have teamed up to create the #FoodFlock, a real-time Twitter community where chefs will post recipes and you can directly interact with your favorite stars.
I'm bringing together an amazing group of culinary titans. The first @TwitterFood Council- let's Tweet about food together using #FoodFlock!

"The Twitter Food Council includes top chefs and influencers representing different cuisines and interests," according to the press release. "Anyone who wants to join the conversation and interact with Council members can simply Tweet with the official hashtag, #FoodFlock."

Twitter Food Flock is not all that different from how chefs normally use Twitter, where they regularly post food porn, recipes, and give out advice to fans:
