“Phone eats first” has become quite the trend on social media, with many people posting what they’ve made for dinner, or a meal they’ve had out recently.
In Toledo, local food influencers have taken this trend to the next level by featuring their latest recipes on their socials, collaborating with area restaurants, and posting content that speaks to the heart of the community.
But her journey didn’t start in her hometown of Toledo — it sparked while she was living in Atlanta in 2013.
“It kind of started by accident. … I would do recipes, I started going to restaurants,” Lee continued. “There was this group called Atlanta Food Bloggers Society in Atlanta that had been formed maybe a year prior to me finding them, and they invited me to come to one of their events.”
Lee said since that day, she hasn’t looked back and is now content creating full time.
Around 6 years ago, she moved back to the Toledo area and started partnering with Tourism Ohio shortly after, which gave her the opportunity to support local restaurants and small businesses.
