With the release of Instagram Stories, several of our favorite food Instagram accounts have quickly jumped on the video bandwagon, using the new platform to post videos and behind-the-scenes footage of photogenic meals being created in real time. Naturally, our first reaction was a real wish to be able to eat these videos right off our screens.
