Why is food content booming?

The influence celebrities have over this niche is to be noted as well. With the boom of bloggers and influencers, celebrities turning food critics, micro-celebrities, new-age food experts, amateur bloggers and nutritionists, and more, the online food content creators are contributing to the boom. Another thing to note here is that food programming on TV channels and OTT continue to have cultural leverage.
