Reply To: Can an Ehrlicher Yid be a Foodie?

I’m sure Rebetzin Kanievsky tried to cook the tastiest Kugel for Shabbos & it probably tasted delicious. That doesn’t make her into a foodie, her intention was oneg Shabbos. A foodie seeks the pleasure of food as a goal in itself, not as an act of service to Hashem. This is a secular hedonistic expression which contradicts the mitzva of Kedoshim T’hiyue.
