About Sam Schnur

Sam is a local, born and raised Miami girl who grew up playing sports and investing herself in school. Every year, she would play one or two different sports and almost decided to make a college career out of it. Not only was Sam athletic, she also had a talent for science. Her father is a doctor and she wanted to follow in his footsteps.

She went to college at Florida State University and decided to study Biology and Chemistry.
“I was there for three years and created some of the best memories a college student could ask for…” Some people believe that Sam dropped out of school or decided not to finish her education.

Sam’s college days were filled with tough classes and late night study sessions. Remember, she was studying biology and chemistry! They are not easy topics. Eating out was completely normal and healthy food wasn’t always on the menu.

Although Sam always focused on having a balanced diet, she would constantly post pictures of the fatty, yummy foods we all love on social media. “I started The Naughty Fork when I was home one Saturday night while my roommates had gone out…”

Sam loved food and taking great photos. Why not start a food Instagram? “At that time I was just using my phone and posting pictures every so often. Because I was in college, you can imagine most of the food I posted was on the unhealthy side.”

Sam’s audience on social media didn’t want to see her balance diet and healthy food, they wanted to see her late night trip to eat donuts and pizza.

Suddenly, Sam was now a food blogger. “at the time, I didn’t even know what that really meant…” Food blogging was completely new to Sam. When she was invited to a restaurant for the first time to take photo’s of their food, she tried paying for the meal. She didn’t understand how this whole food blogging thing worked.
“I began getting invitations to restaurants in Miami as a “media dine”. This basically means “hey, can you come into my restaurant and post a photo of our dishes in exchange for a comped meal”.

She lived in Tallahassee because of school, but her new food blogging empire was mostly in Miami. All the popular restaurants were back home, and if she was going to live the food blogging dream, she had to move.
