insatiable appetite
Never feels full
An insatiable appetite is a hunger that cannot be satisfied, no matter how much is consumed.
The phrase applies literally to food but more often describes an unquenchable desire for something: an insatiable appetite for power, an insatiable appetite for gossip.
The implication is usually negative—suggesting greed or excess.
