2012 In Review: Our 25 Favorite Instagram Photos Of The Year
From cherry tomatoes to lobster pizza to temaki
Without a doubt, one of our favorite parts of the past year was Instagramming every delicious thing we saw. All of a sudden, it was a year later and we had 1,300 photos up between three editors and several chefs who know a good Instagram opportunity when they see one. If you haven't checked out our Instagram takeovers, like Fatty Crew captain Zakary Pelacchio in Hong Kong, Instagram über-photographer Sam Horine in Rome or Jon and Vinny from Animal in LA simply doing their thing, you've never seen a Hudson filter used properly.
It was hard to narrow it down to just a handful — click through our top 25 Instagrams of the year. Our New Year's resolution? More Instagram.
