I love discovering a load of new places in Dublin and rather than relying on newspapers (weeks behind), websites or guides I follow the people who know their shit on Twitter. It’s a discovery engine more than anything and with the new visual way of looking at photos in the stream it is often the first place I head for food inspiration. There are tons of foodies on Twitter but here are a little selection of 20 that I’d strongly suggest you add to your feed. Watch out though you will be fucking starving after looking at these!!!
