Instagramming Food Porn for Restaurants? That's a Real Job.

“It’s an unconventional workspace, but Sananikone has an unconventional job. She writes email blasts, shoots photos, updates the company’s web store, and manages all the Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram accounts for the Eat Good Food Group’s various enterprises, which include Society Fair, Restaurant Eve,PX, the Majestic, and Eamonn’s Dublin Chipper. This requires her to be a social media schizophrenic. “There’s a different voice for each restaurant,” she explains.”

Vina Sananikone is a self-described multimedia maven. She works social feeds from some of Alexandria's most cutting-edge restaurants, including Society Fair, Restaurant Eve, and PX. Her pics look like they belong in a high-end magazine, because not only does the food look incredibly delicious, but the way it's captured makes you want to put it on your walls.”

Vina’s style formula is very simple: shoes, dresses, cardigans, necklaces, and glasses. “I like dresses I can twirl in, doubly so if there are pockets. Pockets are great because I’m always on-the-go between the restaurants and, being the Eat Good Food Group Multimedia Maven (aka Twitter/Facebook/Instagram queen), I always have my phone on me.”

“Vina Sananikone's watercolor dinnerware workshop has been a HUGE hit. (Seriously. All three sessions have sold out within days!). And while, of course, Vina is an incredibly talented, sweet and perfect human, we can't help but think that the cookies she serves during class have something to do with the class's success.”

When Vina Sananikone's first watercolor tableware workshop sold out in January we thought, "Wow! People must be really into this." Vina, ever the sweetheart, offered to host a second class to accommodate the interest. And then THAT class sold out. So here we are, with a fourth class on the books for March 20th. If you're interested, better grab your spot here! We chatted with this local photographer/food stylist/cooking queen (seriously, she does it all) about how to have good table manners and more.
