Tweet of the Week: Celebrity Chef Tom Colicchio says eat Louisiana seafood

We’ve all seen plenty about the mess in the Gulf of Mexico. Most of us are helpless to do anything about the oil spill. That’s why it was nice to see celebrity Chef Tom Colicchio heading south to see what he could do to help. In case you don’t know, Colicchio is more than a celebrity. The guy has serious chef credentials. Many say he is one of the best in America. Recently chef Colicchio won the James Beard award for 2010 Outstanding Chef!

Some with fame and money sit back and enjoy the good life. Others, try to have a positive impact on the world.

Tweets from Tom:

@andersoncooper heading down to grand Isle on sunday to witness first hand the devastation of the gulf fishing industry.

Out in the gulf strong smell of oil many shrimp boats moving boom around.

Eating louisana crab and shrimp, some of the fishing grounds are still open.

@MelissLockwood constant testing plus fisherman caught in closed federal waters will lose their license to fish.

A response from @annabrown86 2:53pm via TweetDeck appreciating his efforts
