International Food Queen: @international_food_queen
What we adore about International Food Queen is that she documents all her food experiences in places like Dubai and London for aspiring jet-setters who follow her, but she also manages to capture a slice of home through her Birmingham content. We love the video behind her adventure at The Big Bake and equally couldn’t stop staring at the images she included from 8 Birmingham and The Lost and Found.

Birmingham Food Bible: @birminghamfoodbible
A Yorkshire native, Birmingham Food Bible might not have the same amount of followers as the rest of our list, but we’d argue she’s one of the most up-and-coming influencers in Brum. Along with creative Insta stories and tasty food fronting her feed, she shares her genuine thoughts on the dining scene. One recommendation? Sky By The Water, where she made her sips look extra snap-worthy.
