Omnivore - The Angry Chef and local blogger throw down on Twitter
In case you missed it, here’s the play-by-play
Last Thursday, Ron Eyester (@theangrychef) and local blogger Eli Zandman (@tonetoatlanta) - who writes the blog Tomorrow’s News Today - had an interesting exchange on Twitter. In case you missed it, here’s the play-by-play:
Zandman began with a provocative question posed at Eyester:
Hey @theangrychef , how much is @marktoro paying you to open at @atlanticstation ?#DumbMoves

To which Eyester quickly fired back:
@tonetoatlanta @marktoro @atlanticstation Let’s be honest, you just don’t know enough about the parameters to cast a sound opinion.

Zandman even brought in Mark Toro, Managing Partner of North American Properties, which owns the retail component of Atlantic Station, by asking how much free rent Toro was offering Eyester, as well as asking:
@theangrychef Did @marktoro assure you that you would receive favorable press/ coverage from that other blog who happens 2b on his payroll?
- Eli Zandman (@tonetoatlanta) February 27, 2013
To which Toro suggested, via a Vine video, that perhaps Zandman just needs some lovin’:
