As far as we know, God doesn't eat. So, it would seem that a case couldn't be made for the sin of gluttony.
However, while God may not consume food (as we know it), we do know from the Bible that he finds the scent of burnt flesh "pleasing." When you take into account the animal sacrifices he requires for a huge number of sins and transgressions, one could easily argue that his desires in this area are very excessive.
While his passion for burnt flesh technically doesn't fall within the definition of being a glutton, it comes pretty darn close!
