13 Ways To Caption A Food Photo Dump

Just like PB&J or fries and ketchup, nothing pairs together quite like a food photo dump Instagram and a punny caption. As we’ve learned from our fave food bloggers and scrolling through the #foodie hashtag, there’s just something about postings pics of our food that gets us in a silly, goofy mood. Whether it’s wordplay involving our dishes (See: endless captions of “not your nachos,” “wingin’ it,” etc.) or poking fun at our inner food blogger with a classic “Phone eats first” caption, one can never take themselves too seriously when posting pictures of food on the grid.

When it comes to captioning a foodstagram, it can feel a lot like seasoning a meal. Should you pepper in a saucy joke, or stick to something short and sweet? This process gets even more complicated when you’re trying to capture the flavor profile of a full photo dump of food pics. After all, how well can your “Give me a pizza that” caption hold up when the second picture is a taco and the third is a plate of bacon?

It doesn’t take a master chef to cook up the perfect food photo dump caption. With the right ingredients and some good puns in your pantry, you can post your food photo dump with a Michelin star-worthy presentation. Get those food pics marinating and take a look at some of the best foot photo dump caption ideas.

1. Phone eats first

6. Swipe your way through a three-course meal

Pairs best with: A full series from appetizer to dessert and digestif.
