DIGITAL TASTEMAKERS.

This article discusses the rise of food influencers in Atlanta and their impact on the local dining scene. Unlike traditional food critics who review restaurants anonymously and pay for their meals, many food influencers receive complimentary meals and often get paid to promote newer businesses. While federal guidelines instruct influencers to disclose these payments, it doesn't always happen. However, positive posts from these "foodfluencers" can significantly boost a restaurant's sales. The article also highlights a few popular food influencers in Atlanta and their specialties, such as bold and tasty videos, East Asian cuisine, romantic date night spots, celebrity chef reviews, and a diverse range of restaurants and bars.
