Food is about relationships. In many ways, human interaction is centered around food: family dinners, business lunches, dinner-dates, cooking with your partner, children or parents, etc. These shared experiences are an important part of our lives.
There is also a relationship WITH the food we eat: food can make you feel happy, disappointed, uneasy, satisfied, disgusted or comforted. How we deal with food and our attitudes towards it are an equally important part of our lives as the experiences we have around our tables.
To me, a foodie is someone who loves food, and understands how important a good relationship with food is. It doesn’t matter if the food comes with Michelin stars or with a greasy side of fries; from a restaurant with a two year waitlist or the food cart around the corner where people wait 20 minutes for a burrito on their lunch break. A true foodie must believe that great food can come from anyone, and from anywhere. They are an explorer, who finds their adventures not in going to highly recommended places, but in finding delicious things where they least expect to.
Most importantly, being a foodie is about sharing your new discoveries and the satisfaction that food can bring with others.
Bon Appetit!

I had almost the same reaction to this chocolate bar.
I live in Seattle and feel lucky to have Theo’s Chocolate right here in my home town. This bar is outstanding and so are all their other chocolates. I love their PB&J, Mint, Earl Grey and so many others. They are sooo unique.
