The Best Chef Instagram Photos Of The Week

Check out the best chef Instagram photos of the week

If a picture is worth a thousand words, then these chefs' Instagram accounts are volumes of mouthwatering, farmers' market-driven prose.

From the looks of it, chefs spent the past week running wild and free among endless heirloom tomatoes. They used Sun Golds to add a pop to gazpacho, baked tomatoes into focaccia and kneaded tomato leaves into fresh pasta. In nontomato news, Dan Barber let some sheep loose in a New York City church backyard. It was a busy week.

See the slideshow below and follow Tasting Table on Instagram to see what we're up to in our own kitchen.
