Guest chef Bayless slices back at Lynn Sweet

For the record, state dinner guest chef Rick Bayless was not tweeting from the White House kitchen. Again, he was not tweeting from the White House.

Bayless took offense to a story saying he did just that, penned by Chicago Sun-Times columnist Lynn Sweet, and started a brief Twitter war with her Tuesday night.

“I NEVER Tweet from WH, which I KNOW is not permitted. Apology?” Bayless said.

In an updated story Wednesday, the Chicago Sun-Times columnist clarified her original report.

This comes after Yeas & Nays and other media outlets reported that Bayless had gone rogue, doing several interviews in advance of the event and tweeting details about the menu.
