How did you build your large social media
following? We would be lying if we said this
was easy. It took a lot of hard work getting the
right quality of pictures, the right angles, the right
edits and the right food. As far as hashtags, we
researched and took the time to figure out which
worked based on our audience and profile.
Which posts get the most attention?
We get the most attention on cheese posts
and pictures that we are both in. People love
a good cheese-pull. We do what we love
together, and people love seeing that.
What are a few of your favorite food
destinations in the Wayne area? Brother
Brunos is one of our favorites in Wayne. Our first
post was from them. We would eat there every
day if we could and look forward to visiting again
as a soon as it is safe. MadnessMunchies also
loves Buonogusto.
Favorite things to do in and around Wayne?
Since Wayne is so big, we still have so much to
explore. There are so many awesome places to
eat. We loved going to T-Bowl on Sundays, then
grabbing a bite to eat at Guacamole, a delicious
authentic Mexican restaurant that recently opened.
Favorite places to shop in Wayne and
beyond? Lenny and I actually met at The
Willowbrook Mall, so that place is dear to us.
We loved spending afternoons there and going
to chain restaurants like Shake Shack and
Chick-fil-A. We are huge shoppers and we
love a great mall trip.
What does a typical day in your week
look like? We both have very hectic lives. We
graduated recently and are still trying to figure
out our futures, but we also believe it’s necessary
to cut out time for each other. We love watching
movies, cooking, and of course trying new foods.
We set up a schedule of places we want to visit,
add it to the calendar, and make it there after
work to grab a bite. When we aren’t eating, we
are planning out our posts, editing pictures, and
updating our profile so it always looks aesthetically
pleasing. Networking is 50 percent of our profiles,
and making relationships with people in the food
industry is crucial. It’s also amazing to meet people
who do what we do. Currently, we miss so much
about the area. We can’t wait to visit exciting
new restaurants such as famous New Jersey pizza
places, and our favorite Mexican cuisine. ■
