Origin of the Term 'Foodie'
Oops, my above post was meant for a related thread.
Since I am here: I don't get the resistance to the term. Other than "gourmet" which is, of course, the name of a magazine and also sounds a bit pretentious in general conversation, what one word sums up those who care about the food that they eat? I'm willing to entertain alternatives . . so who has some?

About funchefchick
Location: Kirkland
About: I am a seriously committed (should be!) professional amateur. I make a great dinner but I don't want to work as a chef. I'm more of a "plan for days the perfect menu that I can get from fresh, local ingredients" kind of gal.
Favorite foods: Hmm. Champagne, Eggs Benedict, Roast chicken, Fresh veg with very little done too them (except Brussels Sprouts. I add a lot of things to Brussels Sprouts), CHOCOLATE, Stir-fry, Puff pastry on just about anything, Bacon on just about anything.
Last bite on earth: Brined, roasted chicken ala Thomas Keller. He is god.

It's just so ... sad (save Alton of course). I am getting far better quality chefs/shows on my local PBS station here in Seattle. Other than the Barefood Contessa and Tyler Florence, I'm barely watching anything on FN anymore. Sigh.
