Sisters who travel together and eat together naturally must Instagram together. What started on a whim while Lindsay and Morgan Vandygriff were on vacation two years ago, @EatingATX now has more than 33,000 followers who are drawn to the twentysomething sisters' food adventures. "In no way are we professionals…but we have found a love for getting creative and trying out new ways to make the food look its best," says Morgan, a full-time finance senior. It comes with a price, though: The pleasure of eating food while it's still warm is just a memory now, and sal- ads are bypassed for choices like the more Insta-appealing lobster mac and cheese. Adds Lindsay, who works full-time at accounting firm Holtzman Partners: "We take all of our photos with our iPhones. It still is only a hobby for us; the only difference is that now tens of thousands of other people are watching our hobby, which still blows our minds!" Most photogenic restaurant: Elizabeth Street Café--with bright colored walls, pastries, cute furniture, and uhhhhmazing food, it is definitely perfect for the 'gram. Prime people-watching: The downtown farmers' market on Saturday morning. Grab a cup of coffee and pastries and watch people haggle over veggie prices. On weekends you'll find us: at brunch on South Congress. It's a requirement for all millennials in Austin to brunch on weekends. Favorite bites: kimchi fries at Chi'Lantro BBQ and tacos at Valentina's Tex Mex BBQ.
