DESCRIPTION

Some chefs ban #foodporn photos in their restaurants. Other chefs embrace social and the business opportunities it gives them. Should the hospitality industry embrace social and let everyone in the kitchen talk direct to customers?

“Some  of  the  best  moments  in  life  happen  around  a  table  when  we  are  

ea6ng  with  people  we  love”    

Joe  Perez,  Tastemade

“If  you  are  a  chef,  your  life  is  devoted  to  giving  pleasure  

to  other  people.  We  are  crea6ve  and  what  we  create  is  

gone  almost  instantly,  but  

there’s  always  the  thought  that  maybe  tomorrow  we  will  create  something  

even  more  spectacular.”  

 Chef  Robert  Irvine

“I  tweet  from  the  kitchen.  That’s  the  fun  part.  How  else  are  people  going  to  see  what  we  do  behind  the  scenes?”  

 Stephanie  Izard,  owner  of  Girl  and  the  Goat

“The  Internet  is  about  being  

generous,  and  if  you’re  good  

enough  —  if  you  touch  people  —  it  

works”      

Jamie  Oliver

“These  days  anyone  with  a  camera  

phone  could  inspire  your  dinner.  But  

without  instruc6ons  food  photos  are  mere  'food  porn’”  

 Will  Hodson,  London  Evening  Standard

“I  see  my  role  as  a  chef  to  not  only  cook  great  food,  but  also  to  teach  it.  Therefore,  social  media  is  the  

perfect  tool  to  reach  and  talk  to  people  who  want  to  learn  how  to  cook,  with  the  ability  to  answer  

ques6ons  and  help  with  any  problems  instantly”  Ben,  Sorted  Food

“It  is  definitely  not  a  love  v  hate  rela6onship.  I  embrace  social  media  as  it’s  the  best  plaIorm  to  openly  PR  

yourself  and  your  restaurants  in  your  own  crea6ve  way.”

 “I  use  social  media  to  interact  with  my  followers  showing  them  the  life  of  a  chef  as  it  

happens  through  what  I  cook,  dishes  we  prepare,  the  

produce  we  use.  I  link  dishes  to  restaurants  and  what's  on  a  de  jour  menu.  I  think  it's  a  

nice  way  to  connect  so  people  can  see  what  you  get  up  to  in  

real  6me...”

Today’s  social  chefs  don’t  just  own  their  whites  and  knifes  .  .  .  TwiMer,  Instagram  and  Facebook  are  all  part  of  the  job

“Rising  chefs,  be  warned:  If  you  can’t  stand  the  tweet,  get  out  of  the  kitchen”
