And the Most-Instagrammed Restaurants of 2015 Are ...
There are restaurants you matter-of-factly grab a meal or a quick bite at — and then there are dining destinations where you make a point of snapping a photo of the sumptuous foods you are about to dig into to share with everyone you know on social media. Instagram knows the difference.
The social media photo-sharing service has just unveiled a list of the 10 most-geo-tagged restaurants of 2015. You got your decadent doughnut shops, you got your fancy bakeries, you got your seafood shacks and your meat-sandwich emporiums — spanning from coast to coast. So much eye candy to savor.
