As cooks everywhere are gearing up for the holidays and brimming with questions about pie pastry and gravy, food52.com announces the launch of its new texting feature for foodpickle, the first 911 for all things food. Just send an SMS text message with any food or cooking question to 803.380.FOOD (3663); food52’s community of smart, informed food experts will be there to answer, and foodpickle will text you as responses to your question come in.
Food52 co-founder Merrill Stubbs said, “Foodpickle has been a great success already, and we wanted to make it even more user-friendly and instantaneous. By adding an SMS feature, we're opening up the service to anyone with a mobile phone, so people can ask questions from the grocery store or in front of the stove -- just like they'd text their moms for cooking advice."
