Does your food look good enough to tweet?
Are you among the foodies with photo evidence of your delicious, decadent and daring dishes? We'd love to see the foods you consider impressive enough to not only consume, but also document. Tweet us @CBCRadioQ or email q@cbc.ca.
(Our friends @CBC already have. Perhaps public broadcaster chic is the next big thing...)
