Ten Bay Area InstaFoodies You Need to be Following

  1. @bayarea_buzz

Why you should follow: The ladies of Bay Area Buzz have spent the last year showing us all the best eats of San Francisco and beyond. Not only do they share their favorite food picks and host giveaways to let you experience the yum as well, but they also explore more of the surrounding area, including a whole week dedicated to Tahoe and another to St. Helena in Napa Valley. They’re the go-to for what’s fun and delicious in the Bay.

  1. @eatingthroughsf

Why you should follow: Lily shows us what it’s like to eat through San Francisco and live in the beautiful, foggy city. She’s always showing a good mixture of healthy eats and indulgent eats, and also what it’s like to see a San Francisco sunset. We definitely want to know about her workout plan, because she shows some insanely delicious eats on a daily basis. We don’t know how she does it!

Another 2015 highlight: eating all of the pizza at Tony’s 💯

  1. @unloktsf

Why you should follow: Unlokt got their start in Las Vegas, which is how I first got introduced to this entire “Instagram foodie” culture a few years back. When I moved to the Bay Area, I thought “Wow, these guys should definitely have an Instagram for all the amazing food here, too.” Sure enough, they started one and it is quickly growing. If you’re on a diet, it’s probably best to avoid this one, though – they show you sinfully delicious eats all around the Bay Area every day. I mean, a burger with donuts as buns? I think I’m having a heart attack just looking at it.

  1. @eater_sf

Why you should follow: We all know Eater from their online publication, but their Instagram is just as delicious. Users can use their #eaterSF hashtag to be featured. The biggest variety of foods is shown on their page and it’s all user content. They just got started on Instagram not too long ago but are already making our tummies happy.

Quite the banchan spread at Gogi Time 📷: @poosekat. Hashtag #eatersf for a chance to be featured.

Not only does Kristin Emi show us the best eats all around Silicon Valley, but she also shows us all the fun and gorgeous sights as well. She thrives on her coffee and her adventures and it’s always fun to see where she’s at and what she is up to each week.

When you wake up and think it’s Thursday… Ugh #letitbe @bluebottle in #Oakland ☕️💙 #bayareaeats #oaklandeats

This page is owned by the MyFab5 group. They show you all the best eats around the country through an app and curated Instagram pages by local leaders. There is also a @bestfoodSF page, but I chose this one simply because it isn’t just limited to San Francisco, but the Bay Area as a whole. Users can see their photos featured using the #MyFab5 hashtag, and can also see the best eats throughout the whole country that way as well. It’s a great way to see what everyone else is eating and enjoying!

Does the most important meal of the day even need an explanation? If you love breakfast in the city, this is exactly who you need to be following.

  1. @cyneats

Here’s another one who we are dying to know her exercise plan! Some of her photos are striking to me – delicious local food against a San Francisco backdrop. She always reminds us why we love this place.

  1. @infatuation_sf

Their bio says it all – “creators of restaurant reviews that don’t suck” – and also the creators of the infamous #eeeeeats hashtag. Of course they had to make the list. Food, drinks, dessert, breakfast, lunch, dinner – they cover it all.

That’ll do the trick. #EEEEEATS #infatuationsf 📷: @hungrygirl325

  1. @bestfoodinoakland

There is some #HellaYummy food in Oakland and this page doesn’t miss any of it. It is especially dangerous for us, since our office is in the heart of Oakland and close to so many of these features!

This is QUITE the #HellaYummy sushi feast. From #GetaJapaneseRestaurant. 📷: @chloelist #bestfoodinoakland #Oakland #oaklandloveit
