Best Foodies To Follow On Twitter In Minnesota

Twitter is a social media site that allows users to post pictures and status updates within 140 characters. Hashtags (#) are a popular way to tweet about an event, product, company or person. Twitter also allows you to search by hashtags. For example, if you want to search happy hours, you might look for #happyhour. Here are some of the most notable food-related Tweeter accounts to follow in Minneapolis.
