Q&A With Melissa From @thehungrygames__
So, my day job is actually completely different from running my food Instagram (I’m an actuary). My sister and I started thehungrygames__ account initially because we both posted a lot of food on our personal profiles. As time went on, I began to run the account entirely on my own as a fun side hobby. At first, I was just taking photos here and there, whenever I thought I had purchased/cooked a photogenic meal. But then, as the food scene in New York City began to flourish, restaurants began reaching out to offer a free meal in exchange for photos and posts. Of course, it’s only continued to expand and, over time, I’ve developed relationships with other Instagrammers, restaurants, and brands that I feel have made me more in touch with the NYC food industry.
