Don't know if that's "foodie" by any particular definition, but we certainly have our particularities about ingredients and sourcing.
That's precisely my point. Everyone eats - differently, yes, but eats - and has their own definition of what is good, what isn't, what's unacceptable, and what's delicious. Therefore, we are all "foodies" and the term is meaningless. A better way to frame the question would have been: What are your guilty pleasures surrounding food? or something similar.
That said, I like corn dogs myself. Wash it down with freshly made lemonade and maybe a funnel cake, and I feel like I'm a kid at the county fair.

The thing is, I have no intention of actually MAKING any of the above, so I actually do have to be at a county fair to eat them. Or some equivalent. No way could I possibly make a corn dog, or a funnel cake, or even fresh lemonade, as well as some roach coach at a county fair.
But I can't go to a county fair WITHOUT eating them!
I have an app on my phone that tells me when Sonic has half price corn dogs! I will arrange my whole day around going to Sonic for two half price corn dogs! I mean, I could get just one but, well, they are HALF PRICE so why not get two for the price of one, right?

OMG, you shouldn't have told me that ...
Oh, and ... There are frozen corn dogs at the grocery store. Not as good as freshly made by some old guy in a trailer at the county fair, but they are a nice treat.
Just had a niece visiting us and I had to buy Oscar Mayer baloney.
I’d forgotten how stupid good it is with kraft American on white bread with mustard.

Campbells crème of mushroom soup (condensed w/added water) and some added OreIda instant mashed potatoes to the mix. Strange for sure...but I loved that combination back in my teens and through my early twenties. I think my then girlfriend, now wife, kind of "cured" me of that combination.
Lived on (and loved) a lot of Hamburger Helper meals in college. Particularly loved the Beef Stew I think it was called.
When I was a teenager and Mom wasn't around, I wasn't above having an occasional "meal" of 15 or 20 Oreo cookies and a glass of milk. Hey...she said milk was good for me :-) I was also slender and 145 pounds then....not so much anymore :-(
Even to this day, I'll frequently eat a Stouffers Spaghetti w/meat sauce for a meal. Now this may get a few of you....but sometimes it sounds good for breakfast. Loved TV dinners (in the aluminum tray) as a kid...thought they were kind of special when we'd have them.
Pinks Chilidogs with cheese. My brother, who is mostly a vegetarian will even indulge in a couple "dogs" when I come to LA for my yearly visit. If you like Chilidogs...they are the best. We've been enjoying them since the early 70's.
Don't eat much fast food anymore, but every now and then, when we're in the area of an "In and Out", a double cheese burger and fries sure slides down well...lol
Oh god...I could probably go on for 25 more things, but I need to get back to work :-)

I figured. Most of my Denny's meals have been at 4am, still tipsy and tired from dancing. I don't really do that much anymore, so it will have to be done sober.
Oh my god yes... My wife and I were just recently remembering our Denny's experience 20 or more years ago. We'd been out partying with some friends, left hungry, so we stopped at a nearby Denny's at 2:30 in the morning. Our waitresses, a female, had a name tag that said "Clyde".
Gave us a good chuckle. Oh such good memories life gives us. It's such a wonderful thing to remanence about all the good things in life and the interesting experiences we've had along the way. If you can laugh about it many years later, and nobody died or got seriously hurt, regardless of what you did, it's got to have been a good experience for you. Perhaps one you've learned from...lol.
