Simultaneously celebrating and poking a little fun at our social media-obsessed culture, The Phone Eats First is an ode to how platforms like Instagram and TikTok have impacted what we eat. Best-selling author and food critic Allyson Reedy combed the internet to curate the absolute best 50 recipes, focusing on the same qualities she looks for when reviewing a restaurant: flavor, innovation, welcoming hospitality, and something that looks great on a plate, in a bowl, or, as in the case of some social media crazes, in a muffin tin.
