It’s been said that we eat with our eyes first. If that’s the case, then our Instagram is proof that we’ve eaten very well this year. Many of our chef friends were even kind enough to give us a peek of where they traveled to in our Instagram takeovers. From Dubai to Cambodia to Kazakhstan and back to our home base of New York City, we had quite a global year. Not following us yet? You’re just one click away! And don’t forget to tag your food photos with #FRavorites for a chance at a repost. Here are our 10 most popular Instagram photos of 2016.

FR’s @dannycarnaje just demolished this bowl of @mokbar_nyc’s kimchi ramen. You should bring a crew to put in that work. #FRavorites

New to the @mets’ dining options this year: A monster tomahawk steak (served with chimichurri sauce) from meat master @patlafrieda. Also making his Citi Field debut this year is @davidchang with a @fuku stand. Going to be one delicious year of Mets baseball!
