I'm curious about what you mean exactly by that, "foodie" culture has been a pretty big thing especially in the 2010's... Celebrity Chefs writing "manifestos", lines out the door for the "new hot place", all of that...

I remember talking to someone a year or two ago who seemed to exclusively describe their life experiences in terms of what restaurants they've eaten at .... kinda felt like "hey buddy you know it's not 2015 anymore right?"
