Take the Travel Personality Type Test test
The Foodie is the food-organised travel archetype, your trips are organised around meals.
Restaurants, markets, cooking classes, the food IS the trip. You plan the destination around where you'd eat. Your superpower is treating food as the most accessible local culture; your trap is when "foodie" becomes status-signalling. You know where to find the best one of every category in five cities, that's not snobbery, that's expertise. Mature Foodie energy includes the occasional perfect simple meal, the chase isn't the only point.
