Who are you following on Twitter? For many of us, finding out where @KogiBBQ was parked was the first time we really used Twitter. I follow some non-L.A. based food folks like @ruthreichl, @davidleibovitz and @clothildenet, but most of my follows are local.
Here's a few that have something interesting to say, whether once in a while or every day.
Please add any other L.A.-based Twitterers with good food content in the comments and I'll post a complete directory page with live links.

@LAFoodie has tons of followers, but the Google-ad clogged blog isn't that appealing.
@EaterLA seems to have given up on Twittering

Thanks for the SHOUT OUT! And for the list! I'm missing a few...
Thanks for the great list, Pat! So many good blogs and restaurants to follow.
We are also on twitter
popchampagnebar
Thanks for the mention! :)
thanks for mentioning me as well. twitter is both a blessing and a curse, as many people are finding out.
Pat,
Good job of assembling a solid list. I follow the majority of the tweeters you mentioned. Here are some other people I've been tracking:
LOCAL FOOD BLOGGERS
@FoodMarathon
Gourmet Pigs @burumun
Choi Sauce @olivejina
The blogger formerly known as Teenage Glutster @glutster
LOCAL RESTAURANTS AND MORE
@barbrix
@eaglerockbrew
@Intelligentsia
@silverlakewine
NATIONAL
John T. Edge @johntedge
Chris Cosentino @offalchris
Some of the better local bloggers don't seem to care about Twitter, but they should. It's much easier to navigate than Facebook and easy to scan (or scan past).
I too follow many of the ones you mention. Here are a few more:
Burbank food:
@PhoCiti
@burbanksoup
@DinosBurbank - Though they never post
Non-local:
@Foodalert - Food recalls and such
@cpkimball - Chris Kimball of Cooks Illustrated
@edlevine - Yup, Ed Levine
@bittman - Mark Bittman
@linecook - Richie Nakano in San Francisco
How hypocritical of me to start tweeting on a more regular basis after I wrote this rant about tweeting. LOL! @dailygluttony if you care to add.
there's also @gastronomyblog from the gastronomer of gastronomer/astronomer fame.
@dotscupcakes tweets about new products and the occasional free cupcake giveaway :)
Yay Pat, great list!
I'm a lousy twit, but when I remember, I tweet about food:
Lesleyb
(LA Magazine)
Nice list, Pat. Might as well add me to the list...the OTHER Lesley B (former Eater, now Tasting Table): @LesleyLA. I tweeted the whole Peabble Beach weekend, and will continue on. I'll also be adding stuff to TastingTableLA as soon as they make it pretty. xo
Great list. I now have some more really cool foodies to follow. We also write a food blog and try to tweet often about food, you can find us @tasty_morsel we are based out of the L.A area, so most of the restaurants and writing adventures are in L.A.
twitter.com/bigmista
helpful for knowing when mrs. mista is making mac n' cheese.
I'm there too, even though I haven't fully embraced tweeting like the others. I tried messaging you via Twitter, which maybe didn't work, showing how clueless I am on that site. Anyway, I'm @RitzBites. Thanks, Jess
I'm just starting out, but I'm blogging about burgers. You can follow me @ laburgergirl. I'd love your recommendations!
Oh heck, I may as well throw myself into the mix:
@resforthree
Thanks Pat!
Room for one more??
@disguisedfoodie
aka foodie in disguise
Great idea! I love Twitter and am always happy to find more LA folks.
I am: @verymarie

You could also add Cybele @candyblog
after all candy is food...
@uncouthgourmand
Hey, what about me? :)
