We live in a world dominated by technology. Social media has effected the way a lot of people live their lives. People everyday spend hours on Facebook and Twitter. The internet serves as a medium for people to connect and share opinions with others all over the world. Smartphones have made that even easier. Twitter has become very popular in recent years and professions of all types utilize its ability to reach many people. Chefs are among the people who have taken to Twitter. Twitter allows chefs to post dinners at their restaurants, share their own meals, interact with customers and offer specials only available via twitter. In Matt’s presentation we saw how food trucks use twitter to alert their followers of their location. But what is the draw to chefs of immobile restaurants? I looked for a chef that tweets while cooking and couldn’t seem to find an example, but how long until we see tweets from chefs about food going into the oven? At this years Pro Bowl, the NFL allowed players to tweet from the sidelines, would you like it if a chef tweeted live from the kitchen? I guess my overall question is how has social networking effected the restaurant business and do you think twitter has a place in the kitchen?
