I'm a Foodie and I Really Don't Care Who Knows It

At some point in recent years, the word "foodie" became embarrassing. Even the proudest foodies stopped identifying as such-in a way, it's a much less loaded version of what happened to "liberal" and "feminist." Each of these words turned sour because it was deemed unseemly to care too much.
Well, I'm fed up (if you'll pardon the pun). I'm a foodie! By that, I mean that I refuse to eat just anywhere, and I get even pickier when I'm traveling.
I'm just back from Japan, and my most memorable moments all happened while eating. (Except the time a flustered attendant ushered me out of a photo booth shop-I love photo booths. Evidently, only little girls were allowed. Judging from her reaction, I've shamed myself, my family, and anyone who walked by during the incident.)
