We've all been there. You're sitting in a restaurant with your friends, excitedly awaiting your brunch. As soon as you see the waiter coming towards your table, your heart begins to pound as your hands reach for your phone. Once the food hits the table everyone is still. "No one touch your food", one friend announces as she stands up a little bit to get an aerial view of the table. "Hey can you pretend to reach for your coffee?" another friend asks as she snaps away. Now you have about 15 different angles of your avocado toast (with flash on and off) and you can peacefully go about eating your brunch. After eating, you edit your favorites using the C3 filter on VSCO and post the best photo to Instagram with a caption that probably has at least one pun in it somewhere.
This is something that we are all guilty of doing, some of us more than others. And some people, well, they dedicate their lives to blogging about what they eat. Aesthetically pleasing food blogs with funny captions have been gaining a lot of popularity over the past few years. Besides for the people that decide to start their own personal food blogs, there are people who actually get paid to post about food! Everyday! Like a job, or a career if you will. What a wonderful time to be alive. So if you’re feeling hungry, or you just want some #inspo for your own food blog, take a look at these 7 Instagram’s that will make your mouth water and your stomach rumble. Happy following!
