So, like five days ago, when we first put out the call for you, our readers, to start hashtagging your Instagrams with #BAreaders, we were optimistic. We'd get, we figured, a couple hundred tags—some good, others... Well, we'd just focus on the good ones. And now, as of 3:17 p.m. ET, we're looking at the hashtag and finding a whopping 5,558 tagged Instas—the overwhelming majority of them artistic, delightful, and, most important, hunger-inducing. A few days ago, we selected a mere 20 to put up here on our site; and today we've selected 20 more. Keep 'em coming, guys, and we'll keep putting them up, Readers' Choice Week or no.
