Food Porn

Now isn’t that enough to make you wonder…

Cravings. Desire. Lust. We are all guilty of it. We all know exactly what it feels like to sit there, mentally fantasizing about what was on TV late last night on the Food Network or Travel Channel. Your mouth is watering and your stomach grumbling, and all you can think is, shut up and wait for dinner! You long for just a little peak, a little taste-tease…

Whether it’s a thick, juicy, marinated steak sprawled out over a charcoal grill, or that bubbling hot, cheesy, creamy spinach artichoke dip from last Thanksgiving, and the first satisfying slice of warm banana bread right from the oven, or the aroma of freshly ground coffee brewing in the morning, and the last delicious bite of triple dark chocolate layer cake, you cannot get it out of your head. Nothing else will satisfy but that one coveted item.

So when you can’t have the real thing, there is another option – and it’s even safe to keep this tab open on your Firefox browser tab when your girlfriend is around. It is food porn, and it’s waiting to be ogled. Food porn is nothing more than sensational food photography. Here I have listed a few of my most beloved websites for food porn.

WARNING: this will make you hungry.

- Most addictions start out casual, and then become habitual. Food Porn Daily offers me a daily fix of the most astonishingly delicious-looking food pictures. The only drawback is that I have not yet found where to get the recipes…

- My next favorite, I just stumbled this guy’s work the other day. Great attention to detail, excellent food choices. He works for some big-name commercial distributors, but still, no recipes.

- Another exquisitely tempting site for food porn. This one appeals to me for its search bar tool. With so many pictures, browsing would never be a waste, but if I know what I want to see, this place has got it.

http://www.cheeseandburger.com/

- The BEST cheeseburger website out there. Not only does it give glorious pictures, but it is narrated! They also tell you what’s on the burger. Now if only they did home delivery…

- Half the joy of cookbooks and cooking websites is looking at the pictures. The website title says it all. Another one with a search bar tool, it is incredible for edible inspiration.

- Just had to put this in here. One look at this bacon dish and somehow you know there is a God. And He likes bacon.
