One of the most revealing and enjoyable ways to learn about a locale and its culture is to experience the local dishes firsthand as you simultaneously experience the landscape. The food of any location can tell a story on its own. An often scrumptious story that we dream of revisiting, long after we've traveled on from that point.
This interesting and droolworthy Instagram called @foodintheair was started in 2013 by four sisters from Charlotte, North Carolina. Aptly named, the entries, submitted by individuals from the account's large following, feature delicious dishes held in the air, juxtaposed against views of travel destinations from all over the globe. Sisters Carolyn, Meg, Patty, and Charlotte, who get hundreds of reader-submitted emails per day, select posts based on their “quality, creativity, and composition of the picture.”
See a small sample of entries above and below, and check out @foodintheair and its related account @drinksintheair for more. Some of these food photos are enough to make me want to book the next plane ticket to their corresponding destinations!
