You’re here, so I’m guessing that you call yourself a foodie. Maybe you Instagram food pics like crazy and tweet about the coolest drink that you just had. I bet you even have a couple food blogs bookmarked on your computer (and Spoon ought to be one of them!).
However, if you want to take your food obsession to the next level, you ought to check out these phone apps that will definitely heighten your food game.

Kitchen Stories
Okay, this app is seriously the bomb dot com. You can look up anything from recipes, to how-to videos, to kitchen essentials. You can create a profile and connect with other foodies like yourself and even make your own shopping list. The crystal-clear videos and mouthwatering food porn make this app a must-download.

Yummly
Imagine a domain that incorporates basically every recipe from every food blog ever. (Slight exaggeration, but you get my point.) As you scroll from picture to picture, you can set aside each one that catches your eye into a different category. Desserts, Drinks, Sides, you name it. You can also specify dietary needs and restrictions, a perfect tool to filter out all the gluten and dairy you (almost) never eat.

Matchbook
What I love about this app is how you can bookmark places that you’ve been to, places that you’ve loved, and places that you want to go. It’s a good way to remember names of the places that people tell you to go but that you always forget. Plus you can add your own tags and notes about the restaurant, like “Hello. Brie stuffed french toast at the Carriage House. Must eat.”

Foodspotting
I love Foodspotting when I’m on the go or just bored because you get reviews from real people who have been to local places, with pictures they’ve taken, too. They tell you their favorite dishes, which you can save to look back on. If you loved it, tried it, or just want to try it, this app is for you to keep track of your future food endeavors.
