For the past 8 weeks I have had the amazing pleasure of joining these fine folks, and many others at the high top table at Charcut, to cheer on our Top Chef, Connie DeSousa. The finale for the show was last night, and while Connie didn't end up on top, it was incredible to be surrounded by so many enthusiastic fans and give her a standing ovation for a job well done.

This group of friends is another example of the amazing power of Twitter. I know I may be preaching to the choir here, but Twitter really has opened up so many incredible social opportunities for me. And I am so greatful for that.

Who are these tweeps? Well they are: @chelseamwatson, @RobWaye, @alexKGT, @brie_elise, @Dave_khan, @chelscore, @jamiepenno, @dansgoodside.

Special thanks to Dan for starting the team and bringing everyone together every week, and to Chelsea for designing our t-shirts!

And here's a great wrap up post by Dan on FoodNetwork.ca!
