[edit] What is a Foodie?
Foodie (fū'dē) n. Slang.
A person who has an ardent or refined interest in food; a budding gourmet: “in the culinary fast lane, where surprises are expected and foodies beg to be thrilled” (Boston Globe).
Foodies are amateurs that love to study, prepare, and consume good food. They love to watch the Food Network, read Cooks Illustrated, and know where to buy those hard-to-get whole spices.
A hard-core Foodie watches Iron Chef in the original Japanese, then compares it to the American version.
Any Foodie worth their (imported Hawaiian sea) salt knows that Boos is a high-end brand of butcher block cutting board, not the plural of a Hallowe'en spirit.
