Start your Monday off right with five gob-smacking websites from Stupidly Simple Snack’s Amy Cao. When it comes to food, the Internet is chock-full of culinary sites. But we find it can be overwhelming to sort through the good, the bad and the half-baked foodie content out there. Googling food websites will return so many search results your glycemic index might skyrocket through the roof and straight on to the moon. And if the moon is in fact made of cheese, well you’re in trouble. So let Cao keep your feet firmly planted on the ground with her expert recommendations.

When you aren’t checking out the Hungry Nation network, naturally, take a gander at Amy’s fresh five to get your food fix. Just as we wouldn’t let fresh food spoil, so we promise not to spoil her fresh five. But here’s a nice whiff of where to get the full meal. And by whiff, we mean link love and by meal, we mean food website. We’d also work on our metaphors, if we weren’t so darn distracted by this week’s Fresh Five.

Foodspotting – not just restaurants, but dish recommendations!

ParlaFood – a food and travel blog based out of Italy, ‘nuff said.

LondonEater – more than just foodporn, but also great foodporn.

Midtown Lunch – never spend your lunch hour eating jalapeno poppers alone at TGIFriday’s again!

Eataku – a talent scout for Marvel Comics, shares his passion for food scouting.
