Foodie & Food Critic Hats

Foodie is a title people give themselves, and the listicles that define it agree on the symptoms: you plan your vacations around meals rather than tourist attractions, you are drawn to the seat with the best lighting, and you own more kitchen supplies than clothes. One columnist describes the family dinner where nobody dares touch the food until an iPhone camera has captured it first, which is the whole case for THE CAMERA EATS FIRST. A Honolulu Magazine writer went the other way and told readers they are no foodie, they are a food diarist. These hats keep that register and point it at the wearer's own appetite. Two badges, FOODIE and FOOD CRITIC, name the identity; the critic is a cousin of the food-critic-in-disguise tradition behind Ruth Reichl's Garlic and Sapphires. The sentence designs cover the elevated, deconstructed and still hungry menu-speak, the restaurant ranking kept in a spreadsheet, the hole-in-the-wall hunt, the aioli ordered anyway, and the recommendation for a place the speaker is about to mention. Food-object embroidered dad hats and generic Foodie Hat listings already sell on Walmart, Kohl's and Redbubble. No listing turned up for the camera line or for a self-appointed critic, so that ground is open. This page is the general foodie, not a single-drink page. Every design is custom embroidered on an unstructured dad hat. Choose one for your next reservation, or give one to the friend who already has the restaurant list.
