    Recon Food is a vertical social media app that will bring people together through a shared love of food. The app, which is co-founded by Spencer Rascoff, co-founder of Zillow and Hotwire, and his 16-year-old daughter, Sophia Rascoff, was developed in response to the need for a healthy space to connect with others away from the noise, toxicity and politics that often bombard mainstream social media apps.

    Recon Food is social media, but specific to food. Users can either take photos of their restaurant dishes and review them, or take photos of the dishes they make in their own kitchen for others to see. Users are able to take photos on-demand or let the innovative technology search their camera roll and upload any food-centric photos ever taken. The app then uses geolocation to identify the restaurants where you took the photos and allows you to recommend the dishes. Recon Food users can decide if they want to share their photos and reviews with their connections or with the larger community.
