A person who practices or advocates for gastrophilism; a passionate devotee of fine food and gastronomy.
From gastrophile plus -ist (one who practices). Mirrors the construction of similar -phile/-philist word pairs like bibliophile/bibliophilist.
A gastrophilist is even more devoted than a food lover—they've made food appreciation into a lifestyle philosophy and probably have opinions about farm-to-table practices and ingredient sourcing.
