Our society revolves around two things: technology and food. So what could be better than combining them? Food porn has flooded our news feeds on Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat, and above all--the Holy Grail--Instagram. These flavorful accounts inspire us to either try to become the next Bobby Flay or venture out to new restaurants and cafés. Whatever path you might take, I’m sure that before you stab your fork into your meal, you will snap a perfectly angled and, soon-to-be edited photo. You never know, you could end up the next trending food Instagram account.
If you're looking to expand your followers on Instagram and overflow your newsfeed with incredibly delicious, to-die-for foods and desserts, here is a list of food porn accounts you should be following:
@food_ilysm
This account features foods from Philadelphia, Washington D.C., and Madison, WI. They give you a little bit of everything from savory mac n’ cheeses, to sweet ice creams and cakes. If they don’t get your mouth watering, I don’t know if anyone will.
@thenaughtyfork
Making the Miami heat even hotter is @thenaughtyfork, which will stimulate your taste buds to a whole new level. You might encounter heart palpitations from its bacon wrapped, fried and beautifully presented sushi rolls to its decadent cookie dough-filled double fudge brownie.
@imshtuffed
The account name is pretty self-explanatory. You could become full just by looking at their endless burgers, sandwiches, pancakes, etc. The coolest part about this account is that their posts come from college students all over the globe sporting their school spirit and favorite meals!
@thevulgarchef
They tell it like it is, literally! The Vulgar Chef provides clever, dirty captions to pair with their mouth-watering posts of deep fried cheeseburgers, stuffed wings, and ice cream cone tacos. You could gain fifty pounds just by looking at these photos!
@foodintheair
If you have never caught someone taking a picture of her breakfast sandwich, s’mores, or slice of pizza while holding it, then you are that person. This account presents their amazing posts with an appropriate and appealing background. At a baseball game? Take a picture of your pretzel with an out-of-focus shot of the diamond behind.
Last and most certainly not least:
@bingufoodie
To all of my fellow Bearcats, Binghamton residents, and restaurant owners, this new account features some of our area's most delectable dishes from Lost Dog Cafe's Rigatoni Alla Vodka to the personal pizzas from Pandini’s in the Union. All of the account's posts are provided by their followers. So get involved and be sure to send them a picture of your next trip to The Colonial or Sweet Frog!
If you didn't eat before reading this article, I would highly recommend stuffing your face with some of the foods inspired by these indulgent accounts!
