Story told at old city, essentially meant to describe sensual pleasure-seeker (9)
I believe the answer is:
epicurean
'pleasure-seeker' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
I can't explain the rest of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for epicurean that I've seen before include "Hedonistic" , "immoderate character" , "enjoyer of fine food" , "Foodie's" , "Gourmet" .)
