What is a foodie?

Are you a Foodie?

Foodie is an informal title that you can claim for yourself if you decide it fits! Foodies are people for whom food is a hobby and social centerpiece. Foodies love to learn about and discuss stuff that is food and dining related. And of course, foodies really like to eat food!

Foodies appreciate food at a more ‘grass roots’ level than their more ‘elite’ relative, the ‘gourmet’. The basic difference is that foodies are usually interested in a variety of foods (not just fancy food). They savor and appreciate everyday and casual foods, as well as formal, informal, eclectic and themed dining environments — as long the quality is good and the ambiance is enjoyable!

Imagine discovering an out of the way, mom n’ pop owned diner that serves a scrumptiously amazing Bacon, Lettuce & Tomato Sandwich: That kind of find would thrill a foodie, but be of no interest to a gourmet! A foodie knows what foods they like and why they like them. Most like to express their opinion about food quality, ingredients, and food presentation. Foodies want to have good tasting, good quality food all or at least most of the time!

Foodie interests and activities vary widely. The bottom line is, that if you have any sort of interest in anything food-related, and you love to eat good food then, Voila! You are a foodie!

Participation Benefits

Win Friends and Influence People!

…by developing foodie friendships, voting in foodie polls, and publishing your opinions about dining in Salt Lake City!

Do you love dining out? Then we want YOU!! Now you can make your voice heard by submitting YOUR opinion of the service, food and facilities at the restaurants you frequent.

When you submit a positive review about your Salt Lake City dining experiences:

  • you help good quality restaurants to thrive by attracting new customers, and
  • you help your fellow foodies to find the greatest restaurants, so that they can enjoy the same great food and service that you did!

Posting about your dining debacles is helpful too! By constructively critiquing a restaurant:

  • you provide valuable feedback that can be used by restaurant owners/managers to improve their food or service before they are tarnished with an insurmountable bad reputation, and
  • you help your fellow foodies to avoid dining at restaurants that routinely disappoint!

Rewards

Get Rewarded for Sharing!

Participation also benefits you! When you submit restaurant reviews and spread the word about SaltLakeEATS, you earn EAT$ Points. As the the SaltLakeEATS Participating Restaurant Network grows, we anticipate that you will be able to redeem your EAT$ for discounts and free meals when dining out! In the meantime, we will be running some fun contest and giveaways with great prizes for our participating foodie members.

Polls

Cast Your Vote in our FOODIE polls!

Every few weeks, we post a new foodie poll on our site. The more we know about our community members, the better we can tailor our site for you! Our Member Restaurants like to learn about the foodie community too, so that they can take better care of you when you visit their restaurant!
