Top 20 Sydney Foodies
Who’s most up to date with Sydney’s food scene?
According to Wikipedia, the source of all knowledge, a foodie is “a person who has an ardent or refined interest in food… A foodie seeks new food experiences as a hobby rather than simply eating our of convenience or hunger.” In the past few years, Sydney has seen a rise of the foodies with an exponential increase in the number of food bloggers and food Instagrammers. It can be an overwhelming experience to navigate all these social media platforms to figure out who’s worth following so the Drool Worthy World team has made life easier for you and created a list featuring the top 20 Sydney foodies that you should be following.
20. Miss Potato Princess
This is the food blog that inspired Drool Worthy World. Miss Potato Princess is the older sister of a best friend of mine and this food blog was one of the first in Sydney with its first post dating back to August 2011. Back in the day when Instagram wasn’t around, blogs were all the rage and Miss Potato Princess was at the height of popularity reviewing all the “it” places to eat around Sydney. To read about the memoirs and musings of a potato-eating bookworm, check out her blog.
