Has engaging with Social Networking Sites (SNSs) affected our disposition to share meal? As SNSs practices are progressively embedded within our societies’ social fabric, there is a need for research to explore the interplay between online network engagement and commensality. This paper highlights current key sociological concepts in relation with meal sharing and SNS engagement, creating connections between past and present theories to identify a gap in our understanding. The results may help amend now dated theories regarding social norms and commensality, and further contribute to hospitality research by integrating sociological concepts within social media strategies.
