Everybody loves to hate foodies. They're pretentious, snobby and annoying. We've seen enough #FoodPorn Instagrams and we've heard enough about the amazing "hole-in-the-wall" restaurant you "discovered." We care not what chefs you claim to be besties with, and really don't care if we're pronouncing "orecchiette" wrong.
Maybe this year food-obsessors should take some time to self-reflect and consider why everybody is so fed up with them. There's hope, we think. Here are some resolutions that foodies everywhere should try this year:
