Seriously hate the term "foodie". Doesn't everyone enjoy good food? I don't know anyone who enjoys eating bad food.
There's a lot of snobbery going on these days in the food world, and frankly, just like with the recent wave of craft beers, there is a lot of garbage out there. My wife might as well be a chef, so for me to find a truly exemplary meal (especially living in Austin, which doesn't have a very good food scene) is difficult at best. If I want to eat well at a restaurant, I have to go to Seattle, LA, San Francisco or NYC.
Bottom line: don't put yourself on a pedestal because you see yourself as a "foodie". That's like my friend who thinks he knows good food because he only eats at Michelin star restaurants. Laughable at best!
