"I've always really loved food, and I love talking to people about food. When my friends and I go out to restaurants together, I have a bad habit of telling them what to order or ordering for them. That's really the thing that I love most about working as a server: I love making connections with customers based on our common love of food, and I love making recommendations to customers based on what kinds of dishes they enjoy."

I am a big people's person. I love working with people and hospitality. It is such a rewarding feeling. I also enjoy guests being happy with the food as much as working in the foodservice. Food Service has that to offer me.

It sounds like you have some great reasons to love working in food service! I have reworded your answer just slightly, to help with flow.
