Epicure

An “epicure” (EP-ih-kyur) is a person who enjoys eating and drinking fine food and beverages. The word is from Epicouros, a Greek philosopher who taught that pleasure is the highest good.

Example (as used by Robert V. Camuto in the Washington Post): “As a confirmed epicure, I have eaten just about every meat acceptable in the Western world.”
