We were lucky to catch up with Lore, Nicole, Andrea and Nadine Aka Four Food Freaks recently and have shared our conversation below.
Alright, Lore, Nicole, Andrea and Nadine thanks for taking the time to share your stories and insights with us today. Going back to the beginning – how did you come up with the idea in the first place?
We always loved food. Going out together and eating in different places was our thing to do in college. We were always taking pictures and sharing them. One day one of us had the idea to start an Instagram account where we could share our favorite places in Tampa!
At that moment we couldn’t find as many accounts as exist today. We’ve been growing our community and meeting new foodies everywhere.
The community is amazing! As well as the new restaurants in the area. We are glad that we started our blog!
Awesome – so before we get into the rest of our questions, can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers?
For the people that do not know us. We are The Four Food Freaks. Four friends from the University of Tampa with a passion for eating and sharing our experiences around Tampa Bay, St Pete, Clearwater, and sometimes Orlando and Miami!
How did you build your audience on social media?
I know this is going to sound cliche, but being consistent, posting on different platforms, going to events, and being ourselves are the top things that helped us build our social media presence!
Looking back, are there any resources you wish you knew about earlier in your creative journey?
To anyone starting a food blog today, our best advice is to join Yelp Elite. They do reunions, meetings, and events that will help you meet new foodies!
