You Are What You Tweet October 19, 2009

As a restaurant, chef or food company, do you dream of:

-Being "the" neighborhood destination for socializing, eating and drinking
-Connecting with customers and your community

Using the micro-blogging tool "Twitter", you can accomplish all these things and more! This is a customized event for restaurants, chefs, wineries, breweries, and food-related companies that are not using Twitter - but that are pretty sure they should be!

-Full restaurants/stores with adoring fans
-Loyal customers as you provide inside info, special offers
-"Raving Fans" by interacting with your customers
