5@5 is a daily, food-related list from chefs, writers, political pundits, musicians, actors, and all manner of opinionated people from around the globe.

To Kelly Senyei, you are what you Tweet.

Now if you'll excuse us, we just had some crazy good Valentine's Day chocolate with sea salt to describe in 140 characters or less.

Dear Gadgetphiles,

If you Tweet from any of your cooking appliances, Team Eatocracy will personally come to your home and pour some manner of liquid all over your circuit breakers.

Love,

All sane people, everywhere

In an ideal world, Eatocracy would have a table big enough to seat every one of you around it - breaking bread and sharing stories. Until that day, we can only have a handful of folks to dinner at a time, starting with our inaugural Secret Supper at as-yet-to-be-divulged Atlanta restaurant this Wednesday evening.

Over the next few months, we'll be working with chefs in cities around the US to create menus that will spark conversation about regionally-specific food culture, history and politics - and invite local eaters, farmers, activists and bloggers to join us. We hope we'll get a chance to feast with you in person, but even if we don't, there are still several ways to participate.

Chef Tom Colicchio dropped by Eatocracy HQ (okay, he was gonna be on Campbell Brown's show and we stalked him) & among other trivial things, like, you know, the oil spill and school lunch reform, he was sporting enough to perform a #fishsongs live.

Oh, uh, and oil spill and school lunch info to follow. Soon.

Yesterday, our editors started a #meatsongs hashtag on Twitter - starting with "We're Having a Meatwave" and finishing with "Holding Out for a Gyro."

Soon after, thanks to our loyal Twitter followers and a few Twitter heavyweights like Ruth Bourdain, Tom Colicchio and Chris Cosentino, #meatsongs became a Trending Topic!

In case you missed out on the action, we've compiled 25 of the most carnivorous carols. (Editors' Note: There were far, FAR, far more entries. If we missed you, no fowl intended.)

(UPDATE: Tom Colicchio happened by and shared one live!)

Everybody in the pool. Our managing editor just started a #meatsongs hashtag on Twitter, lobbying with "We're Having a Meatwave" and moving on to "I Want to Hold Your Ham."

Our associate editor followed up with "Gettin' Piggy With It" and "Steers in Heaven."

You can do better. We're steaking that claim right now.

Although Roger Ebert has lost his ability to eat and speak aloud, his appetite for communication with his rabid fan base is being fed in a fresh new way.

"I'm gonna Twitpic food more often. I get to meet my funniest dirty-minded followers." - @ebertchicago

The longtime Chicago Sun-Times film critic lost a section of his lower jaw due to complications from cancer surgery in 2006 and documented his feelings on the deprivation in a January 2010 blog entry entitled 'Nil by Mouth."
