Was anyone else on the verge of cringing any time Twitter or Vine were mentioned in this movie? It was a rather small aspect of the movie in the beginning, but as the plot moved forward, it got more and more prevalent and eventually just made me dislike it even more. Is that a weird criticism?
shareI have never used any social media. I don't facebook, my space, twitter, instagram, linkin, or anything else. I only use youtube to enjoy old music or tv shows or movie scenes. I don't even comment there since google started requiring you to set up a "channel" to comment. Yes, I'm an old fart. But that doesn't mean that I'm unaware of these things, and the impact they have on our current culture. I had absolutely no problem with their use in this movie. My only reservation was having a hard time believing that someone the chef's age would be that clueless about the media. But the kid using it the way he did, and the way certain things went "viral?" No problem with that at all.

Great answer!
shareI did not find the social network usage unrealistic...it's the reality. For many businesses it is a primary marketing tool.
shareI have yet to see the film, so I have no clue what I'm talking about. But what I do know is that, in the culinary world, these days, food-bloggers are about as feared as 'old school food critics'. So social networking is a great idea for anyone working in the culinary sector.
shareit actually made the movie more realistic. alot of people use twitter.
shareI didn't mind the mentions of Twitter/Vine, etc as much the unrealistic responses they got.
No, a 10-year-old tweeting "We're in Texas lol!" isn't going to result in 60 attractive people lining up to enjoy your tacos 45 seconds later.

Normally I would cringe at it, but Twitter really is a useful tool for people running food trucks. I'm not very familiar with Vine so I don't really know what that's about but I follow quite a few food trucks to see where they are via twitter.
shareNo, food trucks use social media to advertise where they will be located daily. People follow them on Twitter for this reason. I think it would of been negligent for them to leave the social media aspect out of the movie.
shareI found the Twitter thing totally unrealistic. Twitter is not that popular. Facebook would have made infinitely more sense.

Yes, it's a weird criticism.
