About Food Porn
An addiction to “porn” is taking over the country. It seems millions of social media users pick up their phones before their forks to take pictures of their meals in restaurants; the hashtag “foodporn” is used nearly every two seconds on Twitter. Chef/restaurateur Michael Chernow investigates the phenomenon to find the most buzzed-about eats in America. He travels to cities like New York, Atlanta, Chicago, Miami, Austin, Los Angeles, San Francisco and Las Vegas to meet today’s tastemakers — everyday people behind the online posts — and discovers why the meals are worthy of talking about online. Chernow also breaks bread with the chefs responsible for creating the dishes.
