Foodie Content Creators to Follow in 2024

Jan 4, 20244 min read

We @tucsonfoodie aren’t the only ones in Tucson dishing out delicious food and beverage content. Here are some other foodies to follow.

Alberta (@phx_food_whisperer)

She may be based in Phoenix, but Alberta gets down to Tucson a lot, acting as a rare bridge between two great foodie destinations.

Arielle DeSoucey (@civilwines)

We see you, Arielle! Your IG content is hilarious and makes good wine a bit more accessible for the rest of us. Keep going!

Chelsey Hauston (@letthemeatthis)

Another influencer who doesn’t live in Tucson but gets down here a lot and pumps out some great content, helping spread the good word about Tucson to her followers all over the country.

Chez Peachy (@chezpeachy)

Owner Christa Lebron is an inspiration to aspiring bakers and food artisans everywhere. Sometimes funny and sometimes serious, her IG is a look inside life as a small business owner, her baking process, and lots of shots of her gorgeous cakes.

Hannah Hernandez (@deathfreefoodie)

Hannah continues to kill it on IG, even after taking over the reins of Tucson Foodie’s own IG. She’s everywhere, all the time, creating amazing content for us and @deathfreefoodie.

Jim Harris (@jim_shoots_food)

Jim is a highly experienced food photographer here in Tucson who maybe doesn’t get the amount of attention he deserves. I enjoy seeing his work on his IG and hope to meet this guy one day. Apparently, he’s worked with over 1,000 restaurants!

Kim Johnston (@kimmyeatstucson)

You probably already know about Kim. Her work keeps getting better and better. Lately, she’s been creating these beautiful reels that capture dark spaces remarkably well.

Megan (@Rove.and.relish)

Megan continues to pump out consistent foodie content year after year in Tucson.

Mexican Megan (@tucsonlocalista)

Another Megan?! Yep. And just like the Megan above, this Megan pumps out consistent foodie content in Tucson.

Michael and Shane (@watchnextlevel)

I’m totally buggin’ here because my first name is Shane, my middle name is Michael, and I run Tucson Foodie — and here we have two guys named Shane and Michael putting out foodie content in Tucson. In any case, Shane and Michael’s unique voices make them a must-follow.

Michelle Herman (@tucson.eats)

Another gram that’s often overlooked, Michelle is one to follow for good content about local Tucson restaurants.

Natalie Moe (@happilypinkblog)

Tucson native Natalie Moe is a professional content creator. Follow her IG for lots of Tucson food and drink content plus tons of content from her amazing travels.

Sasha + Jacob (@sjfoodieadventurez)

An adorable couple bouncing back and forth between Tucson and Massachusetts, dropping all kinds of yummies on their IG for us.

Talisa (@talisaeastlocal)

If you’ve met Talisa, you know she’s a lovely person. She keeps two IG accounts. You want Talisa Eats Local, where she drops all her foodie content.

This is Tucson (thisistucson.com/eat)

The team at This is Tucson leaned into foodie content in a big way over the past two years. Their IG is still a mix of everything food and not-food, so the best way to make sure you don’t miss their foodie stuff is to visit them on the web at thisistucson.com/eat and subscribe to their food-specific weekly newsletter.

TucsonMunchies (@tucson.munchies)

A definitely must-follow for all foodies in Tucson, Tucson Munchies is growing fast and their reels are awesome.

Welcome to Arizona (@welcometoarizona)

Neither Tucson-specific nor food-specific, Welcome to Arizona hit one million followers last year and is promoting the beauty of Arizona (Tucson included) in a way no one else is. Their drone footage is a constant reminder that we live in one of the most beautiful states in the country.

Xochitl Gracia (@tucson_vegan)

Xochitl is always on the hunt for 100% vegan options in both Tucson and Hermosillo.

@Talegacoffee at 177 N. Church Ave. transforms into @_Velvetcowboy after 4 pm, bringing cocktails, tapas, disco lights, and a lively bar atmosphere to the same space. The dual concept comes from the team behind Talega Coffee Co., with coffee and scratch-made breakfast and lunch served during the day, followed by happy hour and bar service at night.

Velvet Cowboy’s grand opening is Oct. 16, with upcoming events including drag brunches, DJs, and live music.🪩 

“Opening this place feels a little surreal. To now have a space where we can bring together coffee, food, art, booze, and all the weird things we love feels like a reflection of how far we’ve come.” —Tyler Melo
