A Little Bird Told Us
We’re going to fill you in on a little secret. Lately, we’ve been getting a flurry of foodie news, deals, specials, and prix fixes from top restaurants. But not by the usual methods.
The tip-offs have been coming from Twitter, of course. Some of our favorite chefs and restaurateurs are using the social-networking website as their sounding board to broadcast information to customers.
For example, Tony Maws at Craigie On Main (@craigieonmain) sounds off about fresh ingredients of the day, and lets users know when, and how many, spots are available for the popular Chef’s Whim prixe fixe. And Andy Husbands (@AndyHusbands) just revealed he’ll be starring on Hell’s Kitchen on July 21. What’s the hype all about? Check out for yourself with this sampling of the latest local tweets, all in 140 characters or less.
And be sure to follow us on twitter @bostonmagazine.
