People don’t want to follow brands on Instagram—at least, that’s what Leo Kremer, co-founder of Dos Toros, a fast-casual Mexican chain with locations in New York and Chicago, found to be true.

Two years ago, Kremer and his team were trying to build up Dos Toros’ Instagram account, which at that point had 3,000 followers. After a discussion with the people behind the meme-heavy Instagram account @FuckJerry, they decided to launch a separate account, one that would still be tied to Dos Toros but be more fun.
