Distinguido de gourmet [editar]
Aunque los dos términos a veces son usados intercambiablemente, los foodies se distinguen de gourmets del sentido que los gourmets son aficionados con gusto refinado que pueden ser profesionales de la industria de comida, mientras que los foodies son amateurs a los que simplemente les encanta la comida por su consumo, estudio, preparación y noticias.1 Los gourmets simplemente quieren comer la mejor comida, mientras que los foodies quieren aprender todo lo posible acerca de comida, tanto lo mejor como lo ordinario y de la ciencia, industria, y personajes rodeando comida.2 Por eso, los foodies a veces se consideran interesados de forma obsesionada con todo de lo que tiene que ver con asuntos culinarios.
Intereses [editar]
Los típicos intereses y actividades de los foodies incluyen la industria de comida, bodegas y desgustaciones de vino, ciencia de comida, seguir las inauguraciones y los cierres de restaurantes, distribución de comida, modas de comida, salud y la administración de restaurantes. Un foodie podría desarrollar un particular interés por un artículo específico, tal como la mejor nata de huevo o burrito. Muchas publicaciones tienen secciones dedicadas a los intereses de los foodies. El movimiento de foodie durante los años 80 y 90 ocasionó la cadena estadounidense Food Network (Red de comida) y otra especializada programación de comida como Iron Chef, un renacimiento de libros de cocina, revistas especializadas como Cook's Illustrated, un aumento de la popularidad de mercadillos dirigidos por granjeros, páginas Web sobre comida como la de Zagat, blogs de comida, tiendas de batería especializadas como Williams-Sonoma y la institución del chef célebre.

What is a foodie, anyway?
Posted Feb 10th 2006 3:27PM by Nicole Weston
Filed under: How To, Did you know?

Foodie is a term that we throw around a lot here at Slashfood. The dictionary defines a foodie as "someone who has an ardent or refined interest in food." In previous decades, words like "epicure" or "gourmet" were used to apply to the same type of person. The words are out of favor now, and bring to mind stodgy, snobbish people who are only willing to consider a restaurant that has truffled pate on the menu. This is because good food was hard to get and expensive in years, decades and centuries past. People didn't have the resources to buy virtually anything they could want and often wouldn't have the means to cook it. Now, both times and terms have changed.

Anyone can be a foodie.

To be a foodie is not only to like food, but to be interested in it. Just as a good student will have a thirst for knowledge, a foodie wants to learn about food. A foodie will never answer the question "What are you eating" with "I don't know." There are some basic traits of being a foodie, as there are basic traits that come with all labels. Generally, you have to know what you like, why you like it, recognize why some foods are better than others and want to have good tasting food all or certainly most of the time. This doesn't mean that you can't eat flaming hot Cheetos every now and again, but it does mean that you don't fool yourself into thinking that it's a nutritionally balanced meal. Do you have to know the difference between a beefsteak tomato and an heirloom tomato? No, but you might be interested to find out what it is. Do you have to only shop at farmer's markets? No, but you still look for good, fresh produce. Are there some foods you just don't like or weird foods you like? That's ok - it doesn't make you any less of a foodie. Just like food, learn about food and, most importantly, eat food.

Aficionado a la buena comida/gastro aficionado

Explanation:
No creo que haya un término equivalente. "gastro aficionado" se me ocurrió y, como demuestra el segundo enlace, también se le ha ocurrido a algún militante del género.
"Foodie" es la persona que no sólo ama comer, sino cocinar, explorar, descubrir, experimentar y que aprecia tanto un buen restaurante como cultivar sus propias verduras o intercambiar recetas, opiniones, etc.

"Looking for foodie fun? Head to the Exeter Festival of South West England Food & Drink, which takes place in Devon from 11-13 April. In the Food Is Fun Marquee kids can get active with Exeter City FC players, help chef James Chubb cook up some seafood or learn how to create the ultimate Cornish pasty (visitsouthwest .co.uk)."
