Truth: Nothing brings people together like good food, and food shared is happiness multiplied. So FLCKN set out to create a better way to share culinary discoveries and, in so doing, spread some (yummy) joy.

FLCKN is for absolutely everyone who loves food—from food lovers who can’t tell the difference between tarragon and thyme but know what tastes great, to expert Foodies, influencers, food bloggers and critics, and the professionals who make the magic, like chefs, bakers, and restaurant owners.

But it’s more than a mobile app: FLCKN is a growing online community where food lovers of all backgrounds and from all over the globe can come together to share their favorite food, restaurants and recipes. On FLCKN, Foodies share video reviews for up to 20-seconds of usergenerated “see the fajitas sizzling” satisfaction.
