You can safely continue from where the anime ends
The five anime seasons adapt the entire main manga, so you are fully caught up after Season 5. Some readers feel the final season condensed the last arcs; if you want the fuller version of the BLUE tournament finale, the manga is worth a read.
Season 5 (The Fifth Plate) adapts the manga through its finale at chapter 315, so the anime covers the complete main story. After the ending, Yuto Tsukuda and Shun Saeki produced the spin-off "Food Wars!: L'étoile", which follows side characters, plus the epilogue side-story "Le Dessert" bundled with the final volume.
