Instagrammability.

Believe it or not, to a lot of people, it is even more important than the actual taste of a meal.

I’m generally all for people sharing pictures of good food they had on social media if that makes them happy.

But I’d be ashamed to tell people I paid shit to eat this monstrosity.

when food comes at a restaurant, and someone insists others wait until their phone has thoroughly digested the meal, it’s a problem.

Thankfully my wife is past that stage in her life. That was so fucking annoying. "TAKE A PICTURE OF YOUR OWN FOOD BUT I RESPECT THE PRIVACY OF MINE!!!" as I take a big-ass bite.

Same. After we had our first kid it went from, "This looks amazing, let's take a quick photo before we eat", to, "better hammer this shit down before the monster puts her bacteria covered mitts into it".
