gourmet
The term gourmet may refer to a person with refined or discriminating taste or to one that is knowledgeable in the art of food and food preparation.[1] Gourmand carries additional connotations of one who simply enjoys food in great quantities. An epicure is similar to a gourmet, but the word may sometimes carry overtones of excessive refinement.
Example sentence:
Television programs (such as those on the Food Network) and publications such as Gourmet magazine often serve gourmets with food columns and features.
Gourmet tourism is a niche industry catering to people who travel to food or wine tastings, restaurants, or food production regions for leisure.
