K-Drama 
Loners Enjoying Their Best Foodie Lives
Solo diners enjoying the hell out of their meals are my spiritual kinfolk, as a fellow recluse. I'll never get tired of watching them. Here's a watchlist of dramas with this theme. Keep in mind, it doesn't matter if the loner stays a loner by the story's end, or if they also dine out with others - there's room for romance and friendship, too. There's a lot of jdramas on this list, because they've devoted considerable creative works to this genre. Regular cooking/chef dramas will most likely be excluded if a decent chunk of time isn't devoted to the main characters enjoying food on their own.
