It's unclear what your models are here. Do you have both a Category
and Item Model? If so, is the ID (5) the Item.id or Category.id?

Whichever it is, what you want to do is use "slugs" in the URL. To
have Cake create the slugs automatically, download
SluggableBehavior from here:
http://cake-syrup.sourceforge.net/ingredients/sluggable-behavior/

See the tutorial for more info:
http://bakery.cakephp.org/articles/view/slug-behavior

If "food" is a Category, not Item, I would do this:

Router::connect(
        '/shop/:category_slug',
        array(
                'controller' => 'categories',
                'action' => 'view'
        ),
        array(
                'category_slug' => '[-a-z]+',
                'pass' => array('category_slug')
        )
);

Router::connect(
        '/shop/:category_slug/:item_slug',
        array(
                'controller' => 'items',
                'action' => 'view'
        ),
        array(
                'category_slug' => '[-a-z]+',
                'item_slug' => '[-a-z]+',
                'pass' => array('category_slug', 'item_slug')
        )
);

So, for each of these routes, the slugs are all lowercase letters or
hyphens ("food", "something-else", etc.). If you might have numbers in
the category or item names, change the regular expression to:

[-a-z0-9]+

Category model:

var $actsAs = array(
        'Sluggable' => array(
                'translation' => 'utf-8',
                'separator' => '-',
                'label' => array('name'),
                'length' => 128,
                'overwrite' => true
        )
);

public function fetch($slug)
{
        return $this->find(
                'all',
                array(
                        'conditions' => array(
                                'Category.slug' => $slug
                        )
                )
        );
}


Item model:

var $actsAs = array(
        'Sluggable' => array(
                'translation' => 'utf-8',
                'separator' => '-',
                'label' => array('name'),
                'length' => 128,
                'overwrite' => true
        )
);

public function fetch($slug)
{
        return $this->find(
                'all',
                array(
                        'conditions' => array(
                                'Item.slug' => $slug
                        ),
                        'contain' => array(
                                'Category'
                        )
                )
        );
}


CategoriesController:

public function view($category_slug = null)
{
        if (empty($category_slug))
        {
                $this->redirect(array('action' => 'index'));
        }

        $this->set(
                'data',
                $this->Category->fetch($category_slug)
        );
}

ItemsController:

public function view($category_slug, $item_slug)
{
        if (empty($item_slug))
        {
                $this->redirect(
                        array(
                                'controller' => 'categories',
                                'action' => 'view',
                                'category_slug' => $category_slug
                        )
                );
        }

        $this->set(
                'data',
                $this->Item->fetch($item_slug)
        );
}
