I don’t know why, but I don’t really consider myself a Foodie. I do love food. But I feel like the current use of foodies is interchangeable with gourmets. And lord knows that I am not a gourmet. I am not refined nor do I have a discriminating palette. I love going to McDonalds as much as I love going to Palena. Give me food that makes me happy and I will be happy. In the Washingtonian’s current (January 2011) issue – the one that lists the “100 Very Best Restaurants” – they have a line in the introduction to list on how they picked the restaurants that sums up my view on a good meal as well. So because imitation is the best flattery – I’m just going to quote it.
“Some […] restaurants didn’t strike us as good values. Not that we were hunting for bargains – a $300 meal that seduces from start to finish can be as good a value as a delicious from a low-key restaurant down the street” – Todd Kliman
