I think the pineapples would look better if I did something with them along the lines of Madonna ... I've always wanted larger bewbs!

Now you MUST DO THIS!!!!!!!
OH noo! You beat my idea!!
Wow...Sorry it seemed that way. But doesn't being a "foodie" involve some rather specific criteria? I mean I too love food but I can't consider myself a "foodie" just for that reason. I'm not specifically aware of the nuances of various cooking styles and effects certain combinations may have on the pallate, for instance. I love food and I know a lot about the things I love but am I a foodie? No way.
IMO, there is no way to discuss the restaurants on this list from the POV of a foodie. There is nothing truly unique or inspired on these menus...There may be VERY, VERY good food, to be sure but V&A's and Bluezoo are probably the only two restaurants at WDW to fall into that catagory, IMO. The rest fall into fast food or the assembly bistro catagory, which doesn't preclude them from being GREAT restaurants but does, IMO, preclude them from being foodie enclaves.
Foodie is an informal term for a particular class of aficionado of food and drink. The word was coined in 1984 by Paul Levy, Ann Barr and Mat Sloan for their book The Official Foodie Handbook.
Distinguished from gourmet
Although the two terms are sometimes used interchangeably, foodies differ from gourmets in that gourmets are epicures of refined taste who may or may not be professionals in the food industry, whereas foodies are amateurs who simply love food for consumption, study, preparation, and news.[1] Gourmets simply want to eat the best food, whereas foodies want to learn everything about food, both the best and the ordinary, and about the science, industry, and personalities surrounding food.[2] For this reason, foodies are sometimes viewed as obsessively interested in all things culinary.
The OP is using the term Foodie correctly. I think you are talking about a "Gourmet". Which the OP did not profess to be.

My husband is going to lock me out of the computer if I keep offering to do stuff like this.
Your little curb picnic looked wonderful! I bet a hot dog never tasted so good.
That is so weird that Yak and Yeti doesn't give an itemized bill, and just gives a general amount of $35 to base the tip on. I checked AllEars, your DH's meal would have been only $24, and yours $31. I'll have to keep track of the cost of the items I order, so I don't have a problem when it comes time to tip.
I'm always late!! How did I miss this review!
Great job so far...
I loved the Tuna Oscar at Kona! So sorry you didn't like it as well. I agree the macadamia nut pie is FANTASTIC!
I am going to get one of those pineapple drinks next time!! They sound GREAT!
I love CAsey's! Even sitting on the sidewalk is better than anywhere else in the world!
Keep it up!
FANTASTIC review! DH and I are self proclaimed Foodies so your review caught my eye! Can't wait to hear more as we will be there in Sept for free dining. We just got back on Friday from a week there but didn't do the DDP, instead went cheap with shared counter services. Casey's Corner is a "must" stop for me when we go. I always have to eat there, but I get the corn dog nuggets. An all time favorite of mine!
Your reviews are so well done, and thanks for taking the time to do them. I might need to change some of my ADR before going! Better hurry...
Loving your reviews!!! I have to admit I have never been to Casey's and after seeing your photos--we will are going this December for sure!!!
No offense but I think your definition proves my point.
Gourmets simply want to eat the best food, whereas foodies want to learn everything about food, both the best and the ordinary, and about the science, industry, and personalities surrounding food.
