Phoenix-based food blogger Justin Lee regularly posts pics of his dining endeavors and you can usually count on his Instagram feed for a photo tour of the Valley's newest restaurants.

There always seem to be some sort of shenenigans going down at Urban Cookies Bakeshop and in addition to the predictable bakery food porn, the Urban Cookie Instagram shares plenty of behind the scene snapshots of the bakery crew.

Most Phoenix foodies will be familiar with Bryan Dooley of Bryan's Black Mountain BBQ. We love his food and greatly appreciate his scenic photos of Cave Creek and the Sonoran Desert. The artsy still life's show "his life outside of food" since "the last thing the world needs, is another person taking pictures of his lunch." chefgwen
Food writer, chef and cookbook author Gwen Ashley Waters posts some beautiful shots of food and food and yeah, more food. Fodder for your eyes.

Perry Czopp could be considered a local Phoenix Instagram celebrity with over 1,200 followers and more than 750 photos posted. For the coffee lover, Czopp is a must-follow since his pics generally include a mix of latte art, espresso machinery and the like.
icecreamchef
Sweet Republic co-founder Helen Yung documents her eating adventures in visual form with shots to make your mouth water. From some of the Valley's favorite dining spots to new discoveries, we look forward to dining vicariously through those Instapics.
realjoe
Agritopia's Joe Johnston won't flood your feed exclusively with food. He will however fill it up with artistic photos that turn snapshots of his daily life into tiny, digital works of art.
garsdecrepe
When it comes to social media fun, there's no one better than Crepe Bar's Jeff Kraus. Aside from being an avid Instagramer (for more photos also follow crepe_bar) Kraus bars little from his followers including plenty of shots of his culinary creations intermixed with dog pics and latte art.
veggiebadman
They call her the vegetable whisperer and if you check out her Instagram account you'll see the skill translates into photos as well. Veggies never looked so good as when snapped and 'shopped by FnB's Charleen Badman. For the fullest coverage of all things FnB also check out fnbrestaurant and restaurantbaratin.)
