About me

Hungrygrl was born in a Pittsburgh Starbucks on a warm April day in 2015. Her creator wanted a space where she could post all of her food pictures (there were a lot) and people could give them the appreciation they deserved; she was also very bored and needed another way to procrastinate. Alas, Hungrygrl was born (the absence of the "i" is intentional) and is eating, drinking, and laughing with her more than 30,100 followers today. When hungrygrl is not hungrygrl, she is Jessie Iacullo, a girl from Northern NJ who was nicknamed both "steak and potatoes" and "ketchup queen" growing up (she used to put ketchup on her pizza and still does on her mac & cheese). She is currently a graduate of the University of Pittsburgh and spent 6 months post-grad as a Food Video Writer & Producer at INSIDER in Manhattan. She has also interned at Food Network Magazine, where she got to live her dreams surrounded by pictures of #foodporn and Ina Garten inspiration, and is currently searching for her next career while she freelances for restaurant media on the side. Be sure to follow along on Hungrygrl's adventures both here on her blog, Facebook, and Instagram page, @hungrygrl_bigcity!
