food snob

a lot of times they are a person who cooks in a restaurant, and doesnt make that much money, but turns their nose up at any convenience foods...likes to make up some fancy sauce to serve over ahi, and likes to name drop famous chefs' names, critical of other people's food choices, thinks he can deem your social class by the temperature of your steak

there's nothing wrong with a microwave meal....i dont know how that guy is such a food snob about it, it's not like he can afford to dine on steak everynight

Cultural Food Snob

Someone who will lecture another person on the "right way" of eating foods pertaining to other cultures. They think they are being helpful, however they come across as uppity, in a very self righteous manner. These types of people are mainly found in the comment sections of TikTok videos, usually posts about food reviews either takeout or homecooked. There is no right or wrong way to enjoy food, it all comes out the same way anyways...

Also can be applied to someone complaining of a food not being "authentic enough" to their liking

"Hey guys today we are going to be reviewing Indian food from Punjab Palace."
*proceeds to eat curry with naan and rice

Commenters: "ACKTCHUALLY! You do not eat it like this! It's all wrong! If you are going to eat the food of my people I suggest you eat it right or stick to chicken tenders and fries!"

Reply: Wow... What a cultural food snob.

BONUS: CHICKEN PARMESAN IS NOT ITALIAN! IN ITALY CHICKEN ON PASTA IS DISGUSTING! MA CHE CAZZO!!!"
