We’re all used to top 10 lists at this time of year, so how about a look back at the best Twitter chatter? Metromix rounds up the best tweets sent by chefs in 2010. What do we learn from all of this? Chefs love to make psychotic threats online just like everyone else. Also – food personalities like to over-share (c.f. @GaelGreene’s comment on necking with her husband).

Finding a holiday gift can be difficult, especially for your picky foodie friends. And it doesn’t help that for every quality knife set, there’s a Hulk Hogan Ultimate Grill. We decided to round up some of the food-related gifts you might want to think twice about before buying:
Banana Case: The only reason anyone has ever carried one of these around is because he or she didn’t want to offend the present-giver. Or to hide drugs ($9.25).

This holiday season, Blokes & Birds has decided to gift its guests with two wallet-friendly specials. On Tuesday, head to this Lakeview pub from 5–10 PM for an all-you-can-eat fish ‘n’ chips prepared with malt vinegar aïoli and thick cut tartar sauce ($12). On Wednesday from 5 PM–2 AM, $5 gets you a featured pint of the week with a three-quarter pour of whiskey. Ho ho ho (773-472-5252).
