Good regional industry publications such as mine (sorry to brag!), Foodservice East and my website,www.foodserviceeast.com offer news for restaurateurs and foodservice operators in a given area of the country. Twitter is a pretty unreliable source - subject to rumor and gossip - I suspect. It's useful but I have to double check everything I see on it.

Take Susan's reply and insert my publication's name, Today's Restaurant at www.trnusa.com to find the news of the industry in Florida and our sister publication for Texas.

I receive an online newsletters from a publication known as The Canadian Restaurant and Foodservices Association (CRFA).
As well, I go to another online service called HCareers.
Both of these sites provide very useful, and wide ranging informative topics about, and for, the hospitality industry here in Canada.
I also check into FOHBOH at least 3 - 4 times a week, just to 'keep in touch with those in the industry right now!'

www.restaurant.org I know some people will say no way, but there is a great deal of information available from this site. I especially go here for industry standards and other stats

Alyson,

Much like you, I subscribe to a dozen periodicals and go through them page by page examining everything. When I find an article, ad or picture that piques my interest, I tend to turn to google to find more on it.

I also spend a considerable amount of time at websites that I've found useful to our niche specifically, including FohBoh. I visit them daily, checking in to see what is new. Some days are quiet, some days are like an avalanche of information.

Hope this helps.
