- What is up with everyone trying to be an Instagram
influencer these days? You know who I'm talking about.
You’ve got those people hawking essential oils,
your Aunt Deborah trying to get you to buy
protein shakes from her,
and that one girl from high school who swears
she's a fashion blogger.
But when it comes to food accounts,
don't follow every cheese pull you see.
I'm not trying to knock the hustle,
but some of y'all... suck!
Today, I've got the top 10 food Instagram accounts
you need on your feed right now!
What's up, everyone, I'm Cliff Skighwalker,
owner of Cliff's Pizza and host of Thrillist's hit show "InstaChef,"
where we profile chefs who use Instagram
to showcase their culinary skills.
So you won't catch me following anybody who has an Instagram
dedicated to celery juice and...
Oh.
That hit a little close to home because I'm following somebody
who juices. I hate your posts, though,
but you're kinda cute.
And I get it, knowing which accounts to follow
can be overwhelming. So I'm here to help you out.
Here are the top 10 best accounts to follow
that'll make you happy and, most importantly, hungry.
Number 10. New Fork City.
First off, props for the pun.
In a place like New York,
you're going to need some help narrowing down your choices.
This account shows the trendiest dishes that
you need to try in New York.
And if you're in a certain neighborhood and
you find yourself aimlessly scrolling through yelp
trying to find a place to eat,
go to their highlights, where
they have a list of bars and restaurants
that are favorites amongst locals and tourists.
Look! They got a list for Upper West Side, Bushwick,
Harlem, Chinatown, so you know they got your back
for the ultimate New York dining experience.
Nine. I know all you carnivores are gonna start
trolling me in the comments,
but I gotta give a shoutout to a vegetarian/vegan account.
It's all about being inclusive here.
My New Roots isn't filled with your boring salads
or cliché avocado toast. Sarah B. posts both
vegan and vegetarian dishes from spicy carrot
and sweet potato soup to revolutionary pancake recipes.
Look at this photo, it's a pancake topped with banana,
almond butter, maple syrup, cacao nibs, bee pollen
and dried raspberries.
I am salivating just by listing these ingredients.
Number eight. So being a pizza enthusiast,
you know a pizza account needs to be on this list.
Now there are only a handful of people who
share the same level of pizza knowledge as me,
and one of them is none other than Scott's Pizza Tours.
This dude is even a Guinness world record
pizza box collector!
And you may be thinking,
"This guy looks familiar."
and you're absolutely correct.
Scott hosts Thrillist's pizza show "Really Dough?"
where he tries the craziest pies in New York,
like sushi pizza, dessert pizza and kimchi pizza
and answers the fundamental question: Is it really pizza?
Number seven.
For everyone out there with a sweet tooth,
you probably heard of Chef Dominique Ansel,
- Ahn-sel?
- Yeah...
[Gibberish]
No, nevermind.
This guy continues to blow our minds
with his innovative desserts.
Check out this popsicle looking dessert
called Pop Fleur.
It's actually made out of Japanese mountain peaches.
He's squeezing this yogurt-like consistency out of a tube,
which turns into a flower!
Who the [beep] thinks of this sort of thing?
I mean, come on, some of these desserts
and dishes are just too beautiful to eat!
I don't care what it looks like.
That [beep] can look like the Sistine Chapel,
I'm eating that [beep]. [Beep] you talking about?
My bad!
Number six.
If you're looking for the ultimate sugar high,
Chronic Desserts serves up cannabis treats like
wedding cakes, cinnamon rolls, cupcakes, you name it.
The highly acclaimed pastry chef Leila Kaloha
whips up custom gourmet bites to the world.
If you're looking to take your dinner party, birthday,
wedding, bar mitzvah, baby shower to a new level --
Hold up, are we suggesting weed treats for a baby shower?
Not gonna lie. That is one baby shower I might go to.
I'm down to taste a cannabis-infused cupcake.
Yo,
I think that cupcake kicked in.
I want a pet penguin.
Do penguins fly? They can't fly?
I heard they poop a lot.
I think penguins make a sound like a cough-sneeze.
Like a, like a...
Number five.
Maybe some of you aren't cooks or chefs,
or you're just not in the mood to cook.
But i think you can all appreciate food styling.
Photographer Brittany Wright runs Wright Kitchen,
where she plays with color gradients
and gorgeous compositions.
And it's so [beep] mesmerizing!
I feel relaxed just by looking at this feed.
And I feel like I'm on a beach, or
lying in a grass, or swimming in a bowl of watermelon,
you know what I'm talking about, right?
Listen, if I took one of those treats from Chronic Desserts,
and then started looking at Brittany Wright's photography,
that sounds like a very interesting Saturday night.
Number four.
Since we're on the topic of esthetically-pleasing photos,
take a look at Chef Jacques La Merde.
And I mean, a really close look.
I'm not [beep] you.
These dishes are made up of Oreo cookies,
Fruit by the Foot, Fruity Pebbles, Doritos, a Pop-Tart,
but they all look so [beep] good!
I mean I can make this at home... I think?
This account satirizes fancy dining
and is run by Christine Flynn,
the executive chef at Toronto's iQ Food Co.
Why did she do it?
For [beep] and giggles.
Number three.
Now don't think I forgot about you carnivores
who are watching this.
Spoon Fork Bacon is run by Teri Lyn Fischer
and Jenny Park, who are both based in LA.
They show a wide range of original recipes
from savory s'mores, which is herb and cheese cookies
sandwiched between toasted brie and prosciutto,
to braised pork ragu over pappardelle.
These ladies are killing it in the culinary world,
and you gotta give them props for that.
Number two.
I gotta feature this account on this list
because, I kid you not, this guy literally tosses his food
in the air to get the shot.
Chris Liu runs Ehgg. Ehgg?
Ehgg? Not ehhhhggg.
Or is it eh-g-g.
I'm going with ehgg. Let's say egg.
And his page is filled with levitating dishes.
I dunno if this is genius or crazy,
because watching him throwing his food in the air
gives me anxiety.
But hey, sometimes you gotta do crazy [beep]
to get those followers.
And clearly you gotta have a lot of patience
because I'm sure he dropped his dishes a handful of times.
Number one.
Being in New York, you know people here
are big on brunch.
So, I gotta feature Brunch Boys' Jeremy Jacobowitz,
who is a former TV producer for Bobby Flay
turned mega-foodie Instagrammer.
He was running this account
while he was still working his full-time job,
but decided to take a leap of faith
and became a food influencer.
And lucky for him, it worked out for all of us.
I know there are a [beep] ton more accounts out there
that you should definitely check out.
And if there's a foodie you love to follow,
shout them out in the comments below.
Enjoy the food porn, fam!
