Emily OHalloran

To formally introduce myself, my name is Emily O’Halloran and I run the Instagram account Forking Yum. I took a hiatus from social media throughout 2020, but have returned to the ‘gram with energy, excitement and a fire in my belly. I love hospitality. I love food and drink. I love to travel. I love accommodation. And I might be biased, but no one does it like New Zealand does. I am so proud of the community I have built with over 11,000 Kiwis making the decision to follow along as I indulge in some of the country’s best. I desperately want to use my platform and “influence” to champion and profile local NZ hospitality venues (from hotels and tiny houses to restaurants and bars to cafes, to food trucks and delicatessens) and brands doing epic things. I’m here to help share the love in order to help rebuild the NZ hospitality industry after what’s been, to put it bluntly, a pretty shitty year. Forking Yum’s newfound brand mantra is “a carefully curated feed, championing the best” and... wow, does your gorgeous spot fit the bill.
