Consumer interest in "foodography" is skyrocketing. Food photos are no longer restricted to marketing geniuses but to smartphone addicts. These are essentially clichés taken by amateurs who think they are genuine food journalists on board. It is clear that these shots also resume the techniques of porn: flattering brightness, close-ups or flattering angles. This phenomenon is called Photo Fooding or Food Porn.

Indeed, social networks are the most practical and fast ways to disseminate these pictures to as many people as possible. There is no question of making progress in the art of cooked. But to make the like, the comment, the tweet ... The more the photo is tantalizing, the more the net surfers are happy and recognized. Side application, we will use Food Spotting, Forkly, Chewsy, Trumpet, Fondue, Oink, Urbantag or Evernote Food ... These are the restaurants that rub the hands of this free advertising.
