Okay, so as a total foodie who's obsessed with capturing the perfect shot, finding new restaurants is serious business. Local by Toast is amazing because it's all about showcasing the food through gorgeous photos. I love that I can browse photos from other diners to see if a place is Insta-worthy *before* I even make a reservation. Plus, it helps me plan my shots – knowing the lighting situation in advance is HUGE. It's seriously upped my photo game, especially when I'm trying to find places with good natural light for those perfect overhead shots. The filters don't oversaturate like others, which is key for making my latte art pop. And I'm all about supporting local businesses, so finding those hidden gems is a total win-win. It's perfect for dim restaurant lighting too!
