Garlic noodles, french fries loaded with steak and shrimp, crab legs the length of an adult’s forearm – a brief scroll through the popular Instagram account of Bayareafoodz is enough to put you in a digital food coma.
In a region known as one of America’s culinary capitals and a playground for Instagram foodies, Darion Frazier’s page stands out. He amassed more than 126,000 followers not with slickly produced videos at the hippest restaurants but with homages to the taquerias, greasy spoons and small soul food joints.
“I live for wear and tear on furniture and menus at mom and pop restaurants. That tells you that the food is good as hell,” said Darion Frazier, the page’s owner, of the spots that hold a special place in his heart.
