We are not professional photographers, but we definitely qualify as professional eaters. So Faiyaz Kara, Holly Kapherr and I combed through our year of #foodporn on Instagram to bring you our most delicious moments. (As always, the better the restaurant, the worse the lighting … in terms of getting the shot. Le sigh.) Here’s hoping 2016 tastes this good!
