New Orleans Restaurants/Chefs on Twitter
At the suggestion of a couple of friends, I have decided to compile a list of New Orleans area restaurants and chefs who are using Twitter. Twitter is an excellent way to get information out, and there are a bunch of restaurant industry folks using it, but at this point I don't think anyone's taken the time to compile a list. Update: a friend pointed out that someone actually has compiled a list of restaurants on Twitter at Tom Fitzmorris' message board: here. It's missing a few that I found last night, but has at least one that I didn't catch, and I'll add that, along with any others people send me. Thanks to JS for the head's up.
This is not going to be comprehensive, as I'm sure I'm missing a bunch of people/places, but I'll try to update it when I can. If I have time in the future, I'll organize this list alphabetically, but for the time being, the list will start with the folks I've most recently "followed" on Twitter. And so,
Anthony Spizale is the chef at the (also tweeting) Rib Room at the Royal Orleans.
Shula's Steak House has a Twitter account, but it doesn't appear to be active.
Chef Jared Tees of Luke.
Jason McCuller is the chef at Cure.
Scott Boswell is the chef at Stella!
Nealy Frentz is the co-owner and chef at Lola, in Covington.
Emeril's Eats has a twitter account, as does Chef Emeril Lagasse.
La Petite Grocery and its Chef Justin Devillier are also on Twitter.
Again, I'm sure I'm missing a bunch of restaurants/chefs, but that's a list of the folks I'm currently aware of and following. If you fit the bill, have a twitter feed, and are not on the list, please email me and I'll add you... eventually. I'm not making any promises, as my time is incredibly valuable. I am a very important and busy man. Sometimes I am so busy that I do not have time for myself. That's how important I am. Seriously.
You can, of course, also find me on Twitter and send me a direct message there. Which, given the subject of your message, might just be the best way to approach things. I don't care if you actually "follow" me, though it would be helpful if you want to get information to an incredibly important and busy man. By which I mean me.
Thanks to everyone who sent me a direct message via Twitter this evening. Please continue to do so, though don't expect a response tonight, as I am weary. Weary and important, if I haven't mentioned that already.
