Why Tweet? By Suresh Doss |
|
It is my firm belief that if you are in the culinary industry in some capacity, you need to embrace technology, regardless of the virtual container it arrives in. Twitter for example is just a container. The message and the ability to directly reach people is the real payoff. People representing every facet of life are on Twitter in some form, Consumers, Chefs, Merchants, Foodies, Sommeliers, Wine makers, Wine Critics, Farmers, Cheese mongers, Hotel owners, Tourism boards, Restaurateurs, Bartenders, Agents, Media, and the list goes on. Are you missing out on the conversation? This article was constructed specifically to give you a crash course in why you should be participating in this medium.

FOOD AND HEALTH DAY WEBSITES
Geography Awareness Week 2009
Canadian Association of Geographers
This year’s Food and Health day takes us across Canada in search of local food specialties for residents and culinary tourists! The Ontario Culinary Tourism Alliance was chosen as an oustanding website by the Canadian Association of Geographers!
These websites include geographical information on points ‐ 'where' local products are grown or can be purchased, lines – routes for travelling to sample local delicacies, and areas – regions unified by locally grown products and cuisine. Local eating for residents offers fresh products, helps support local economies and agricultural resource bases, and cuts down on transportation energy and emissions. Culinary tourism can broaden travellers’ horizons and is an excellent way to learn more about the local physical environment, customs, culture, and people. The following websites are only a minute sampling of the wide diversity of offerings across Canada.
