''Foodies'' is a satirical web television series written and directed by Japhy Grant. The first episode appeared on March 9, 2011. Plot The series revolves around a weekly dinner club which, with the exception of Porter (Sean Hankinson), is very new to the food world. Complicating matters is the fact that not only is Porter's fiancée, Moose (Carlee Avers), in the dining club, but also her old flame, the bombastic and culinarily talented Danny Domenica (Daniel Franzese). While on the surface it may appear to be a straightforward sitcom, John Sheehan of the ''Seattle Weekly'' praises the show for "doing something to deflate the egos and take a hammer to the pretensions of the foodie microcosm". Development Within a 60-day period, Grant's pitch for ''Foodies'' was selected to be part of the New York University alumni script showcase, three episodes were written, pre-production, principal photography and post-production were all completed.

Foodie
A foodie is a person who has an ardent or refined interest in food, and who eats food not only out of hunger but also as a hobby. The related terms " gastronome" and "gourmet" define roughly the same thing, i.e. a person who enjoys food for pleasure. But the connotation of "foodie" differs slightly—a sort of everyman with a love for food culture and different foods, but some, like Paul Levy, say the foodie can still be a "foodist".

The "foodie"—not as elitist as a gourmet, more discriminating than a glutton—was first named in print in the early 1980s. The term came into use almost simultaneously in the United States and Britain. Priority goes to Gael Greene, who, in June 1980, wrote in ''New York Magaz ...
