Five Questions with Tim Vidra on Richmond.com

If you read this blog on a regular basis already know Tim is the brains behind the mixology of H&H Happy Hour, lives in Stratford Hills, and is pretty damn awesome. What you might not have picked up is that he is what some will call a “foodie”. Richmond.com has series that asks 5 questions of Richmond foodies. This week it’s Tim’s turn.

How do you define the term “foodie” and do you consider yourself one?

Let’s start with the latter. I have read the good and the bad about being labeled a foodie but I’d never really looked up the definition—so I did. Foodie: A person keenly interested in food, especially in eating and cooking. If that is the true definition of a foodie then I am definitely a foodie—besides I was born hungry.

I would then elaborate and define “foodie” as anyone who is always thinking about that next meal. I cannot even finish my current meal without planning out in my mind or thinking about what’s going to be next. This also applies to traveling, as in a foodie almost always spends way more time searching what restaurants, diners, and specialty grocery stores are in town versus where you are going to stay.
