"The Best of Instagram Series is presented by T-Mobile. Its 4G Tweet Race, a week-long campaign launching May 3, pits Twitter users against one another in a daily, frantic race for retweets. There are 7 races, and the winners of each heat win a new HTC One\u2122 S phone with a year of T-Mobile\u2019s Unlimited Value service, and the final winner takes home $4,000.\nInstagram users often get a bit of flack for oversharing their food photos. Now that the photo-sharing app is available for iOS, Android and possibly soon Facebook, we expect the user base and the photo uploads to surge.\nBut that's not to say all photos aren't worth sharing. Sure, maybe there are a swarm of users who like to share photos of their Subway sandwich, but there are also tons of gorgeous pictures of food and beverages that will make your mouth water.\nWe've collected photos from Instagram users, professional photographers and even chefs to present you with 20 of the tastiest photos. (Note: You can't actually eat them.)\nDo you think your food photos have what it takes? Let us know in the comments.\n\n\n20 Delicious Food and Drink Instagram Pics\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n1.
