No Tweet For You!!!!!!
It seems Twittering might have put Chicago chef Rick Bayless in trouble with the White House. Bayless, who is the Chef at Chicago’s Frontera Grill and Topolobampo, is in Washington, D.C. to prepare Wednesday night’s State Dinner to honor Mexican President Felipe Calderon.

Chef’s Turning To Twitter to Battle Critics and more…
