It takes dedication, hard work, and a whole lot of appetite. Watch and learn.<\/p>\n<p>  <b>1. Brush up on your photography skills.<\/b><\/p>\n<p>  <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/45.media.tumblr.com\/tumblr_lxwwjvbUYR1qmaqllo1_500.gif\"width=\"100%\"><\/p>\n<p>  This one goes without saying. Judging by the outrageous number of local photography pages on Facebook and Instagram, it shouldn\u2019t take you long to get your inborn photographer spirit going. But don\u2019t take it too far with technicalities since the actual food will be doing all the creative work anyway.<\/p>\n<p>  <b>2. Exhaust the hell out of reviews on Zomato.<\/b><\/p>\n<p>  <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/38.media.tumblr.com\/tumblr_m6jqcdlOA31qb9pa3o1_500.gif\"width=\"100%\"><\/p>\n<p>  As a dedicated member of the foodie community, you need to drop weekly (if not daily) Zomato reviews about every single restaurant you visit or order from. Make sure to engage with fellow Zomatians for added exposure. Oh, and please don\u2019t let the pleasant sight of food hinder your ability to produce proper grammar. Remember, you are being watched (and judged) by a whole bunch of community managers ready to give you a job at any given moment.<\/p>\n<p>  <b>3. Upload a minimum of five food pictures to Instagram every time you\u2019re eating out.<\/b><\/p>\n<p>  <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/-3cGoIgatKEQ\/U7G1Y7fkeMI\/AAAAAAAAFwQ\/K0XModF6Olg\/s1600\/LoveFood.gif\"width=\"100%\"><\/p>\n<p>  Because how else is the universe going to acknowledge your world-class culinary expertise? Don\u2019t forget to nail your hashtags!!!!<\/p>\n<p>  <b>4. Start developing unpopular opinions about popular restaurants.<\/b><\/p>\n<p>  <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/d.gr-assets.com\/hostedimages\/1380380625ra\/737551.gif\"width=\"100%\"><\/p>\n<p>  You absolutely cannot go with the flow in terms of your gastronomical preferences. The world is in deep longing for added hipster-esque uniqueness. You are expected to establish a particularly distinguished, diligently refined taste from day one. Work it.<\/p>\n<p>  <b>5. Check in at every recently opened restaurant in town.<\/b><\/p>\n<p>  <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/49.media.tumblr.com\/fc2c573d7b91e33ad38098bbc3185821\/tumblr_n9xucpk7bS1rfduvxo1_r1_500.gif\"width=\"100%\"><\/p>\n<p>  Every time you go to a new restaurant but forget to check in, five points are deducted from your foodie record. Because seriously, what\u2019s the point of attending restaurant openings if you do not disseminate the news to the entire Internet population?<\/p>\n<p>  <b>6. Once your online reviews start getting too long, channel your chronic cravings into a blog.<\/b><\/p>\n<p>  <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/mrwgifs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/Liz-Lemon-Is-Gonna-Go-Talk-To-Some-Food-About-This-On-30-Rock.gif\"width=\"100%\"><\/p>\n<p>  Yes, I mean, you\u2019re not gonna spend the rest of your life throwing emotional one-paragraph food reviews at the online community. It\u2019s time to step it up and delve into full-fledged critiques. WordPress needs you. The world needs you. Every living organism on the face of the planet is craving your input. Don\u2019t make us wait any longer.<\/p>\n<p>  <b>7. Never miss a street food event under any circumstances.<\/b><\/p>\n<p>  <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/49.media.tumblr.com\/4d3a23f7f951997dc38b0cef62746629\/tumblr_o1bk4kshRR1s4hjb0o1_500.gif\"width=\"100%\"><\/p>\n<p>  I don\u2019t care if you\u2019re sick, dyingm or running late to a date with Beyonc\u00e9. Attendance is MANDATORY.<\/p>\n<p>  <b>8. Become a professional donut hunter.<\/b><\/p>\n<p>  <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/media.giphy.com\/media\/xTiTnjdV8ZVTKLaEWQ\/giphy.gif\"width=\"100%\"><\/p>\n<p>  You need to develop a superior ability to capture exceptional, historically significant donut moments. Sometimes it\u2019s just one donut, other times you need a whole lineup of donuts to produce the desired aesthetic effect. <\/p>\n<p>  <b>9. Post at least one picture of you devouring a burger on every social network platform.<\/b><\/p>\n<p>  <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/38.media.tumblr.com\/tumblr_lfl0nuPiYO1qdzjnp.gif\"width=\"100%\"><\/p>\n<p>  #Burger #PleaseLookAtMyBurger #MyBurgerBringsAllTheLikesToTheFeed #DidAnyoneSayBurger #BurgerMeNotWithYourNonsense<\/p>\n<p>  <b>10. Dabble in cooking\/baking and flood the Internet with your culinary exploits.<\/b><\/p>\n<p>  <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/49.media.tumblr.com\/bf4a7bcb1d973a32238dd33cf22f4723\/tumblr_nypqgoAHdw1tzzd6do1_500.gif\"width=\"100%\"><\/p>\n<p>  As a final step, you need to take your passion for food to the next level by undertaking a minimum of one real-life cooking endeavor. Any recipe would do as long as you post enough pictures of your glorious attempt on social media. I\u2019m guessing that\u2019s it for the moment. Can\u2019t take the yumminess anymore. I think I\u2019m gonna pass out. Can you give me some of that #fresh #organic #juice you were drinking the other day now that we\u2019re at it?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><big>Contrary to popular beliefs,
