As he indicated, his on-the-spot review bites are apparently the preview of a complete review for publication.

I follow him, and he lately remarked that he was surprised that the restaurant, which also follows him, did not respond to the tweets.

The restaurant then spoke up, explaining that they had snail mailed a letter to the mag in response.

Was any response required? Do restaurants respond to reviews in the normal course of events, and does anyone pay attention? I don't know the contents of the letter, but is that a knife to a gunfight at this point, meaning is it an ineffectual response because many people who say the comments on twitter won't see the letter, even if it is published?
