Best Foodies To Follow On Twitter In Baltimore

Many foodies out there use Twitter to share their love for food with the world. Twitter is used to send and receive messages (maximum of 140 characters) to those you follow and those who follow you. You can create lists to categorize your accounts, for example Baltimore Restaurants or Baltimore Food Trucks. There are so many restaurants, food trucks and bloggers out there that have Twitter accounts to follow, but who are some of the best?
