23 Food Photos Guaranteed to Make You Lick Your Screen

The dictionary so eloquently defines art as “something that is created with imagination and skill and that is beautiful or that expresses important ideas or feelings.” I define art as the many different delicious things that can be cooked or baked and subsequently placed in my mouth.

Now I’m sure there are lots of you out there who are far more cultured than me and who will always contend that the world’s true masterpieces hang in the MoMA and the Louvre. But I will always firmly and wholeheartedly believe that the most beautiful creations are the ones waiting to be devoured.

And so to that end, I have gathered for you the creme de la creme of culinary artwork. Please enjoy and please try to refrain from licking the screen of your cell phone/laptop/tablet. And if you wanna step up your Instagram game like this and get even more followers, check out these tips from Insta-famous peeps.
