Cameras eat first: The growing relationship between Instagram and food


Instagram and food at My Burger Lab.

There are few relationships that have become as inexorably intertwined as that of Instagram and food. In the past few years, the social media channel – which is primarily an avenue for people to post pictures – has emerged as a font of wisdom about food, gently nudging users in the direction of restaurants perceived to have Instagrammable food or places that are so beautiful to look at, they are immediately bestowed the title “Instagram-friendly”.

In fact, a quick search on Instagram will yield 329 million posts tagged under #food.
