Food porn for your phone

Are you the type of person who loves ogling an overstuffed burger even before taking the first bite? If the answer is yes, then we have the Instagram account for you.

Last week, the Star Tribune launched a video series that spotlights Minnesota's most over-the-top dishes. We're calling it Outta Control (typically the phrase we utter after ordering one of these monstrosities).

The stories and videos will appear on our website and Facebook account.

We've also created a home for them on Instagram, where you see photos of the best food porn in Minnesota. Find it at: @outtacontrolmn.
