Celebrity Chefs Use Twitter As Star-Studded Turkey Help Hotline
Do you panic at the thought of yet another dry turkey, or can't choose between brining and basting? Instead of calling mom or doing frantic Google searches, Twitter is here to be your digital guide. The Twitter Food Council, led by Chopped judge and New York chef Alex Guarnaschelli, will be answering your Thanksgiving Day emergencies in the form of the Turkey Hotline. Giada De Laurentiis, Graham Elliot, Carla Hall, Michael Symon, Anne Burrell, and more will be answering questions tweeted at them on Thanksgiving.
They've already been sharing tips this week for hosts and hostesses who need a little extra boost in the kitchen:
