Meet The Food Gays

They know food, they’re talented photographers, they’re social media influencers and they have a beagle-boxer mix named Milo. Meet Adrian Harris and Jeremy Inglett, also known as the Food Gays. — Sandra Thomas

Together these home cooks create original recipes, which they test at home and, starting in May, will share with VITA readers each month. To coincide with the launch of the Food Gays column, we had a few questions for Adrian and Jeremy.

How did you two meet?

We met at a random house party and never really stopped hanging out. Neither of us knew anyone there, so clearly it was meant to be.

Were you both into food when you met?

We always enjoyed going out to eat and cooking at home together, but not at all in the way we’re interested now. Our whole life revolves around food now—and we really love it.

How and when did you decide to create “the Food Gays”?

We started the blog in 2012. We were looking for a hobby together and it really grew organically from there. We thought it would be a great way to learn about food and explore Vancouver’s food scene.

What exactly is the Food Gays brand? A website? A blog?

We do wear a few different hats. We offer social media management, recipe development, food styling and photography. We’re just starting to get into video content, so we’ll see where that leads.

What’s next for the Food Gays?

We’re excited about just completing a city guide book called The HUNT Vancouver, slated for publication this summer. We’ve also got some exciting projects down the pipeline that we’re looking forward to sharing soon.

Tell us about Milo.

Milo is definitely a big part of our family, and we love spending time with him. He’s a beagle-boxer mix, and will be eight years old in July.
