Delicious Meals Captured in Photos

As many of my friends can certainly attest to, I am that annoying dining partner who tends to take a picture of my food when dining out. Always feeling a need to validate my reason for doing so (wouldn't want anyone thinking that I'm one of those people who takes pictures of my food just to post on Facebook or Instagram :P), I usually preface the photos with something along the lines of: "Sorry! I'm such a dork, but I want to take a picture in case I decide to write a blog post about this place!"  My friends usually laugh or nod approvingly and offer to let me snap a shot of their plate, as well.

However, despite taking so many food pictures recently, I've been too busy and/or lazy to actually sit down and take the time to write about my recent dining experiences. Since I feel that the best dining reviews need to be written soon after dining out in order to capture the true experience and my opinion/thoughts on the food and restaurant while they are still fresh in my mind, it's kind of too late for me to go back and blog about each of those meals. However, it would be a shame to let my mouth-watering photos go to waste....therefore, I present to you: Delicious Meals Captured in Photos...No Words Necessary (although I may include captions just in case you're unsure of what exactly is on the plate :P). Hope you're hungry! Enjoy! :)

Hopefully going forward I'll actually get my act together and take the time to write reviews to go along with my food pics!

Have a great weekend, y'all! :)
