Many of us food freaks fall into subcategories of culinary craziness that fulfill a specific niche of our food fascination. For me, it’s cheese. For my boyfriend, it’s anything meat-, grilling- or bbq- related. For others, it’s wine, beer or cocktails (and by “others” I also mean me and my boyfriend). Luckily for all of us, food infographics are sweeping blogs and Pinterest, and invading our homes for geek-chic decor. They look cool, make us think, showcase what we are most passionate about and even make us laugh in a stylish, modern way.
