Yes, it does. If the food were the sole subject, then I think the SLR has far more possibilities. However, as Jaap has shown above, it is quite possible to take great pictures of food with an M8. As Richard also points out above, an M8 with 1 or more lenses may be easier to travel with. I don't think you'll have much problem in focusing.
