When in search for your next meal, and curious about what to order on a restaurant's menu, be sure to see and hear what these tastemakers have to say

What truly makes a foodie? While most of us dub ourselves as self-proclaimed experts, regularly and eagerly posting on social media about our many dining escapades, there are few who are truly worth relying on for meaningful advice.

Well, to us, a proper foodie is someone who does not eat to live, but lives to eat. They are people who would travel for that bite of food that has been on their minds for days; someone who considers the many facets of the culinary world when rating or reviewing a restaurant; someone who loves the details of dining, and simply cannot stop talking about food.

Instagram has become a great resource for spotting the latest food trends, finding new restaurants, learning about gastronomic experiences, and hearing first-hand accounts and the real word-of-mouth story. And even when not on the hunt for your next meal, who doesn’t love staring at gorgeous images of dishes?

Here, in no particular order, are 17 foodies on Instagram that we consider to be worth the follow.
