Someone over at the Michelin NY twitter account is asleep at the wheel today. The supposed Michelin reviewer (or reviewers) who tweets about recent restaurant meals and minor slights wrote today, "What an incredible dinner at Le Bernardin last night. The best in years."

Ahhh, ok, recently. Like over a month ago recently? Are all the tweets made up or just this one? Or do they stockpile the tweets for months on end and get to them when they get to them?

Update: Now it's a twitter meme.
