Tom Colicchio Took Over Our Instagram

We're big fans of Instagram, a social network that's like Flickr for your phone. It's really simple: users post photos, made cooler with filters, and follow their friends who do the same. Like Facebook and Twitter, we are all about using Instagram — specifically for documenting the great things we're eating and drinking in our New York hometown or on the road. Think badass bakeries, fried chicken on New York's Lower East Side and spicy Szechuan tofu outside Richmond, VA.

Over the past few days Tom Colicchio snapped some photos for our account while he was in Austin, Texas for South By Southwest. We've selected a few of our favorites below. Thanks Tom. And you might be asking yourself: How do you follow Food Republic on Instagram? It's easy. Once logged in, search for our username foodrepublic in the Find Friends menu. Boom. You're with us. And stay tuned as we announce our next SXSW Takeover tomorrow.
