without judging on the quality of them, the places he goes are the opposite of "foodie". -- nm - Reagen Feb 19, 16:09 17
- I think for the most part you are correct, but there are some gems tossed into the mix. -- nm - JenBro Feb 19, 16:20
- Depends on how narrowly you want to define foodie. -- nm - Stephen, signing his NLI to play for ST Feb 19, 16:17 10
  - to me the term implies some level of fine dining - Reagen Feb 19, 16:21 9
    - I ate at this place in Vegas last year. -- (link) - Dr.Vermin Feb 19, 16:40 1
      - It doesn't have to be foreign or expensive for you to care about how it's sourced and how it's prepared - con_carne Feb 19, 16:47
    - I don't think the fine dining aspect of things has been part of "foodie"-dom for years, not since there were more people called - b. Feb 19, 16:36 4

        None of which says being a foodie is confined to liking only the type of food served in 5 start restaurants. -- nm - Stephen Feb 19, 16:59
        
        I looked at the wikipedia entry after I posted. it agreed with me, so I didn't link. I knew someone would if there was disagreement oof any sort. - b. Feb 19, 16:55 1
        
        heh :) -- nm - Stephen Feb 19, 17:13
    - Sell there's the difference then ... I would consider the place in Nevada where they had 15 different Mole' sauces to be a "foodie" place - JenBro Feb 19, 16:28
    - Foodie is getting a broader definition. Adventurous eating is part of it. -- nm - tl Feb 19, 16:23
- They're a mix. Some are neighborhood places that wouldn't show up on a list for tourists. - tl Feb 19, 16:13
- Exactly. Don't make macaroni and cheese for dinner and then call yourself "a foodie." -- nm - con_carne Feb 19, 16:11 1
  - Have you even watched his show? - Stephen, signing his NLI to play for ST Feb 19, 16:19
- to his credit, that's not always true. his attention to some places, and the added traffic it brings, has actually annoyed foodies in various areas. -- nm - b. Feb 19, 16:10 1
  - I didn't know that ... But am not surprised. -- nm - JenBro Feb 19, 16:23
