or ‘Eat it Don’t Tweet it’

It’s a guilty obsession, and it’s always the same. We all go out to eat at a nice restaurant. We order the fish, or pasta, or tofu. The plates are set down in front of us. Nobody move. First we have to get a picture of that beautiful spread.

The right angle, rotated 30 degrees. Perfect. Click. Now dig in.

And we’re not alone in our food picture obsession. This lends itself to a number of good quality food photo apps that cater to non-pro food bloggers like us, letting us share and show-off our adventures in gastronomy. There’s SnapDish, Instagram, Foodspotting, fidd.me, and as of last week Platter. Not to mention the more traditional mediums like Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest which are awash with images of beautiful (and sometimes highly unphotogenic) food getups cramming our stream. There’s even a study out about online food and photos sharing trends by 360i, which examines why so many of us are snap happy at the dinner table and what happens to our food pics.

But why do most people (food lovers, but non-pro food reviewers or bloggers) feel the desire to record adventures in gastronomy? And does it take away from the experience? (more…)

Last week Delivery Hero headquarters became a busy, organized chaos as we packed up and shipped out hundreds of Welcome Packs to our wonderful restaurant partners.
You will soon be able to see our window stickers displayed in all the restaurants we list on our website- just look for the big superhero in Red and Yellow!

 As a way of saying thank you to the most awesome of our already amazing customers- we have also sent out boxes of freebies to you as well!

If you happen to receive one of these packages, we’d love to hear about it! Mainly because we love to hear any kind of feedback from our customers and also because we are just keen to make sure Australia Post does their thing- just kidding!…

For those of you who didn’t get one, but know in your heart you still deserve a freebie (don’t we all)- get on our Facebook or Twitter pages and tell us why. You might just have a free T-shirt coming your way!
