It is specifically used for things that have already been sampled, emphasizing the lingering desire to repeat the experience. It carries a slightly more descriptive and enthusiastic tone than simply saying 好食.
Examples
The food at this restaurant is truly addictive.
Have you tried this dessert yet? I guarantee you will want to come back for more.
