foodstagrammers

Dish pic sharers

Foodstagrammers are people who photograph their meals and post them to Instagram or similar platforms.

The term blends "food" with "Instagrammer" and carries a mildly mocking edge—suggesting someone more concerned with documenting a dish than eating it: We had to wait for the foodstagrammers at the next table to finish their photo shoot before the server could bring our plates.
