You might think the term "foodie" is reserved for amateur restaurant critics or instagram celebrities. But, in truth, foodies are just people who love food! So whether your idea of a perfect meal out is grabbing a burger at your corner greasy spoon or sitting down to a multi-course, prix-fixe, farm-to-table affair, all it takes to earn your tried-and-true foodie badge is to dig in with gusto.

Of course, that's not to say there aren't ways take the experience of dining out to a whole new level. That's where we come in. In honor of this year's Taste of Groupon, we've gathered together some of our very best foodie-focused writing to help inform the way you eat, talk-about, and experience food, so you can enjoy every bite to the fullest.
