Bon Appetit magazine has released a list of the top 10 chefs to follow on Twitter following a story on how Twitter is narrowing the gap between chefs and their diners.
Fans are tweeting to chefs directly, with some soliciting chef secrets for the best marinara sauce, some taking their beefs online for the Twittersphere to see, and others still hoping for a virtual shoutout and a mention on Twitter with their handle.
Chefs, meanwhile, like Chris Cosentino of Incanto in San Francisco, are posting Twitter-only specials for their regulars.

For most people having a luxury jet to yourself is a dream that seems very out-of-reach. Not for multi-millionaire hotel heiress Paris Hilton.
Ms Hilton tweeted a picture of herself yesterday reclining on a bed on her private jet as she flew to Paris, France.
Hilton, was coming from London, about which she Tweeted: ‘I love this city! One of my favorite cities in the world.’
There’s only six days to go until the end of the World Cup. But Paris Hilton obviously feels she needs at least one suitcase full of clothes every day.
As she headed off to South Africa for the final stages of the cup last week the heiress posed atop more than a dozen designer suitcases.
She obviously has a passion for Louis Vuitton - the vast collection of bags all bore the designer’s unmistakable logo.
