Transcript of the article:

"Food is such a universal language," says Syed Asif Iqbal, CEO of Picdish, a local company bringing high-tech tools to the culinary world.

As the Santa Barbara-based creator of an addictive app designed to help foodies all over the world easily share their culinary experiences, Iqbal and co-founder Haitham Al-Beik have already connected with everyone from chefs to farmers, home cooks and people who simply love to eat out and share their experiences.

"Friends can share food adventures through photos and remarks that are automatically grouped into a single experience and instantly made available to everyone ... Picdish allows users to share complete experiences, showcase culinary passion and discover gourmet adventures across the world," Iqbal explains.

Since the app launched last summer, people from all over the world - including Thailand, Russia and Europe and our very own backyard - have used the free iPhone app to bring enthusiasts together in their passion for food.

We think many of us secretly dream of being a chef at a cute restaurant where we create amazing dishes everyday and meet with regulars who can’t have enough of it. Having taken a few inside peeks into top gourmet kitchens to greet chef friends, we know it is a lot more difficult than it is in our imagination. But that is what so great about chefs - they create beautiful and delicious food that make us forget all our worries and embark on a  gourmet journey. 

As a tribute to all chefs across the world, we wanted to feature some of the established and aspiring chefs on Picdish who wow us with their exquisite creations.
