It’s not hard to miss those eye-catching videos of a grilled cheese sandwich being pulled apart, and being completely lured in by the mess of stringy cheese being shown. And I’m positive we’ve all clicked on an article that tells us what taco we should make on Tuesdays according to our zodiac sign more than once in our lives. If you’ve been there, and have always had that desire inside to create incredible articles, pictures, and videos just like those, then Spoon FIU is the place to be!
What is Spoon? Spoon University is a resource focused on all things food, with content made by college students, for college students. It’s not just for those who love to eat (like me), but also for those students who are ardent about cooking, baking, restaurants, nutrition, and the trendiest food products out there.
With Spoon FIU being currently in the process of being revived, I am so excited to begin this journey and recruit new members to join our team of food lovers. If you are interested in being a writer, marketer, photographer, or videographer, and simply put, a member of the dopest club on the streets, join us! I know, it’s hard not to be convinced.
