The word gourmet is french -- meaning a wine broker, or a person who is employed by a wine dealer to taste wine. First the word "friand" - meaning "refined palate" - was used as describing one of the requisities for being a gourmet. First both gourmet and gourmand was referred to as people who ate too much - a connotation that only gourmand, of the two, still has. The guy behind the first restaurant guide, Grimod de la Reynière, was the person who - in releasing this guide - made the word gourmet respectable.
Gourmet is associated to culinary arts -- culinary arts, according to wikipedia, being defined as "the art of preparing and/or cooking foods" -- fine food and drink, or so called "haute cuisine". haute cuisine is food that often comes in small meals - which is foregone (?) by intricate preparations and presentations. The term is used differently, depending on who you are asking -- some see it as asomething positive - a person that has passion and a refined taste or similar - and some see it as snobby and elitistic.
The word gourmet is used in different ways - sometimes to describe a meal, a class of restaurant or a cuisine - or, simply, to describe an ingredient; that looks nice, is very sophisticated or of high quality. A rising income, globalization - which has carried with it globalization of health, nutrition concerns and taste - has led, in the 2000s to an increase in the increase in American gourmet market. A specific foods is often divided into sub-categories - "gourmet" being one.
Sometimes the word gourmet describes a person -- being anything from a person that is great at distinguishing foods from each other, to somebody who knows very well how to prepare food or knows the art of food. A gourmand is this, plus it is somebody who just likes to eat a lot. Events these persons referred to as having fine taste frequent are wine tastings; possibly chocolate testing (?). There is a gourmet tourism, where people travel to try out different foods, wines, food production regions and restaurants.
