#FollowFriday: Quench and satisfy

Last week, I aimed to make you smarter. This week will make you hungry. Or thirsty. I present to you, three Instagram accounts that will please your eyes — and your tastebuds:

Whisk and Wood Bakery

Instagram handle: @whiskandwood

I forget how I stumbled upon this account, but I haven’t regretted it for a second.  The pictures of divine baked goods (almost) motivate me to do some baking of my own. This bakery is locally owned and is available for events, coffee shops and any other instance where delicious confectionery goods are wanted.

U.A.V Cheese

Instagram handle: @uavcheese

If you were to read any of my social media profile blurbs, you would see the word “cheese” at least once. It is my favorite food and I know I am not alone in the cheese-obsessed club.

U.A.V Cheese, short for “Uno Alla Volta” (translation: “one at a time”), is made by craftsman Zack Gadberry right here in the Queen City. His cheese can be found in many restaurants around town but, if you want to eat a whole burrata by yourself on the couch (only me?), check out U.A.V Cheese at the Charlotte Regional Farmers Market.

Bob Peters

Instagram handle: @bob_peters

Bob Peters is a cocktail legend. With more than 15,000 followers, it is no secret that Peters makes some of the best cocktails in town.  His Instagram page is full of concoctions that will inspire you to create a few of your own signature drinks for happy hour.

Not feeling that creative?  Head over to The Punch Room and have the man himself make you a drink.
