50 Dope Foodies to Follow From Every State in the US

This article is written by a student writer from the Spoon University at FSU chapter.

Scrolling through Instagram, it seems like big cities such as NYC and LA completely control the rapidly growing foodie scene. Inevitably, in some ways they do. However, that doesn’t mean that less populated states are full of boring dishes. Some small town diners and dives are where the most unique creations are birthed. We’ve scoured the Internet to find the most passionate foodies from all 50 states. Check out which foodie account represents your state and be sure to leave room on your bucket list (and in your stomach) for all the mouthwatering eats they post.
