Does such a word exist? I don’t mean to excess (IE, a glutton), but rather one who eats because he enjoys eating. Essentially, I’m looking for a word that’s synonymous with «a food hedonist», or «a hedonistic eater.» A word would be ideal, but a term would suffice as well :).
I love to eat!

«Foodie» is a more informal term.
From Wikipedia: «A foodie is a gourmet, or a person who has an ardent or refined interest in food and alcoholic beverages. A foodie seeks new food experiences as a hobby rather than simply eating out of convenience or hunger.»

Gourmand, gourmet and epicure appear to match what you’re after, as perhaps does food connoisseur.

Aside from «gourmand,» consider «bon vivant,» «food epicurean,» and «hearty eater.»
bon vivant: (from French) a person who enjoys going out with friends and eating good food and drinking good wine.
to be compared with:
hedonist: a person whose life is devoted to the pursuit of pleasure and self-gratification.
And
bon viveur: a person who lives high and well; man-about-town.
However, «gourmet» and «gastronome» don’t necessarily imply a hedonistic behavior to my French ear, but rather some sophisticated knowledge about high quality (often expensive) food and wines, coupled with the enjoyment of choosing, eating and drinking them.

A gourmand is someone who loves to eat «food for food’s sake.»
This is in contrast to a gourmet, whose interest is in «fine» food.

Slightly off the precise word-topic would be a trencherman which best describes a person who has a hearty appetite and has no difficulty in eating all that is set before him.

a person who has a hearty appetite; a heavy eater

In Australia such a person could be described as «good on the fang».

I think the most common word for this — food hedonist — is pig.
It is highly negative to call someone a pig so usually it would be used to describe someone not present or used to describe yourself.
Usage:
I basically like any kind of candy. I can eat all night. I am such a
pig.We can’t buy any snacks that mom likes. She’s such a pig, she will
eat them before we get a chance.

Also a more clinical word with the exact meaning is Sitomania.
an obsession with food
An abnormal craving for food

I leave you the best quotes of Eat Pray Love , movies published in 2010, starring Julia Roberts and based on the book Eat, Pray, Love by Elizabeth Gilbert.

-«Sometimes losing balance for love is part of living a balanced life.» -Ketut Liyer.
-«Maybe my life has not been so chaotic. Only the world is the way it is, and the real trap is to cling to things. Ruin is a gift. Ruin is the path to transformation.» -Liz Gilbert.
-«You traveled the world trying to find the balance. And the balance you think you have found is… what? Meditate for 20 minutes and go see an old healer. Listen dear, the balance is to not let anyone love you less than you love yourself.» -Felipe
-«We all want things to stay the same. We settle for living in misery because we are afraid of change, of things being reduced to nothing less than in ruins.» -Liz Gilbert.

If you can get all this out of your mind, space that you are using to obsess over this man and your failed marriage, you would have another chance. Do you know what the universe would do? God would fill you with more love than you can imagine.» -Richard of Texas.
-Liz Gilbert:»I’m tired of listening to people tell me I need a man.»
Felipe:»You do not need any man, Liz. You need a champion.»
-«Did not I want this? I actively participated in each moment of the creation of this life, so why do not I see myself in it? The only thing more impossible than staying, was to leave. I did not want to hurt anyone, I wanted to escape silently through the back door and not stop running until I got to Greenland.» — Liz Gilbert.
-«I want to go to a place where I can marvel at something. The language, the gelato, the spaghetti, something.» -Liz Gilbert.
-«There is a famous Italian joke about a poor man who goes to church every day, and prays to the statue of a saint, begging him:»Dear saint, please, please, please, help me to earn the lottery». Finally the statue comes alive, looks at the man and says:»my son, please, please, please, buy a ticket». Now I understand the joke. And I bought three tickets.» — Liz Gilbert.
-«Everything collapses, dear. The only permanent thing in life is the family.» -Ease Italian.

-Liz Gilbert:»Let me ask you something. In all the years that you have undressed in front of a gentleman…»
Sofi:»There have not been many in reality»
Liz Gilbert:»Very well… then, did anyone ask you to leave? Or has someone left?»
Sofi:»No».
Liz Gilbert:»Because he does not care. He’s in a room with a naked girl. He won the lottery.»
Liz Gilbert:»I’m waiting for you to forgive me, to let me go.»
Richard from Texas:»Waiting for him to forgive you is a damn waste of time. Forgive yourself.»
(After Sofi feels guilty about eating a full pizza in Naples).
-«Please God, please. Open my heart and send me a signal, because we both know I’m not that smart.» -Richard of Texas.
-«You have to learn to select your thoughts the way you choose your clothes every day. That is a skill that you can cultivate. You want to come here and you want so much to control your life. It works better in your mind, it’s the only thing you have to control. If you can not control your thoughts, you are in trouble. Your problem is to try, stop trying! Surrender». Richard from Texas.
-«Stay on the ground, as if you had four legs. That way, you can stay in this world. Also, do not look at the world through your head. Instead, look at it through your heart. In this way you will know God.» -Ketut Liyer.

Liz:»Well, love me.»

-«When I was in Italy, I learned a word. » Tutti «, Which in Italian means»all». So that’s the lesson, is not it? When you take a trip around the world trying to help you, sometimes you end up helping… tutti » — Liz Gilbert.
-«I also have the same fears. I have the same scars that you have, and I have shown them to you. But I think the only difference between you and me is that you’re afraid to love again.» -Felipe.
-«If you are brave enough to leave everything familiar and comfortable behind, which can go from your home, to old and bitter resentments, to embark on a journey in search of the truth, whether external or internal, you are willing to consider everything what happens to you in the adventure as a clue, you accept all those you know as teachers, and most importantly, you are prepared to face and forgive some very difficult realities about yourself, then the truth will not be hidden from you.» -Liz Gibert.
-«Hello god. A pleasure to meet you at last. I am so sorry I have never spoken to you directly before, but I hope I have expressed my wide gratitude for all the blessings you have given me in life.

-«You are a traveler. You will live a long life. You will have many friends and many experiences. You will have two marriages. One short, and another long… Also, you will lose all your money, I think within the next six to ten months. Do not worry, you will recover it. You will go back to Bali and live here for three or four months, and you will teach me English… Then, I will teach you everything I know.» -Ketut Liyer to Liz Gilbert.
-«See you later, alligator.» -Ketut Liyer.
-«In Italian, every word is like a truffle. A magic trick.» -Liz Gilbert.
-Delia Shiraz:»You’re a writer Liz, you should be writing about something.»
-Liz Gilbert:»Maybe I could write about a woman who goes to Italy to learn Italian. I would call it, Carbohydrates and conjugations »
-«I know this is terrible. But I believe with every molecule of my body that you will find a person who wants just what you want. That will give you what you want and deserve, but that woman is not me.» — Liz Gilbert
-«Even in Rome, in this eternal city, Augusto’s Mausuleo has taught me that we must always be prepared for endless waves of transformation. We both deserve more than to stay together for fear of destroying us if we do not.» -Liz Gilbert.
-«I thank God for the fear, because for the first time, I am afraid that the person I love will be the one who wants to leave my side». -Giovanni.
-«I prefer to be with God than with boys of my age»-Tulsi.

Liz Gilbert:»You have no idea.»
-«I know you feel bad. But your life is changing. That is not a bad thing.» -Richard of Texas

Hello everbody!!!
I have a doubt and I am about to drive crazy!!!
I can’t understand the difference between «I love eating at home and I love to eat at home.»
Context. I’m leaving the office and a coworker talks to me about being at home, and enjoy the dinner time with our families, then I say «I love eating at home / I love to eat at home.»
Could you help me?
thanks in advance.

Hi Katia,
Chill out! They both mean pretty much the same thing in that context, and most of the times.
Though some people say «love to» means «prefer» (I prefer to eat at home) and «love verbing» means «enjoy» (I enjoy eating at home), I don’t agree with that. The real (possible) difference between «love to verb» and «love verbing» is where «verb+ing» is also a well-established noun, for example, swimming and scuba-diving. «I love swimming» can also mean—in addition to enjoying doing the activity— that I love watching the sport of swimming. But «I love to swim» can only mean that I enjoy doing that activity.
Hope that helps.

I
had lunch there three times.
Хотя обычно я никогда не ем в том же самом месте дважды, потому что люблю экспериментировать, но суши были так хороши,
что за четыре дня, которые я провел в Химедзи, я пообедал там трижды.
