OK done bragging. But yeah, Lucas seems to be hooked on prices, and these overly no reason complex meals. We've seen the toaster bortions He's got no taste buds. He eats the way he does to impress people and it flops.
Yeah i'd say its 50% showing off how hobo rich he is, trying to impress people cartman style while not realizing it makes him look like a greedy out of touch narcissist, and 50% feeding into his own food addiction. He wants what he considers the best food available, whether he can really taste it properly or not, cause he legit thinks he's entitled to it and is the best hobo in town. Lucas's thought process about things tends to be even more simple than an actual child - he sees something and assumes if its complicated and expensive it must mean its high class and good. Hence the reason he jacks the price of his board games up and makes them batshit insanely complicated and brags about how complicated they are, and why he'll immediately jump to the most expensive thing on the menu at a given restaurant. Funny thing is many restaurants up the prices on some things specifically for people like lucas who are stupid enough to think that means its the best. Seafood restaurants are famous for this. Lucas orders it and eats it, bragging about it and showing it off as if its the best thing ever, even while dousing it with sauces and pepper, even if he doesn't particularly like it. Its still food and feeds his unending gluttony. He's like one of those rich people who eats a bunch of caviar at some rich guys party even though he hates it, because it wants to fit in and thinks its expected of him to eat the expensive shit like everyone else. He thinks showing himself off doing it will make people envy him the way he envies and is jealous of everyone else. Lucas doesn't understand that most people are not as envious, jealous and greedy as he is. Everything that applies to him he thinks also applies to just about everyone else. Right down to hearing the voices on the wind telling him to do things. Hence the reason he thinks it'll win a zoomer bae over every time he shows off an expensive steak or one of those pot roasts he tortured and how he gets angry and frustrated when this doesn't happen. Despite being told by doctors, therapists and his life circumstances for all of his life that he is not normal and something is very off and different about him he still refuses to accept he's not normal and is fucked in the head (except of course when he gets into serious trouble for his behavior than he's totally a mentally ill, sick, schizo who shouldn't be held responsible for his actions because he's mental, like a true abusive manipulator)
Its obvious that, like a vorta, lucas's sense of taste is extremely limited. The only foods he truly enjoys are cheesy cukes and bottles of peanut sauce. Lucas just enjoys the different textures:
Even the stuff lucas claims to love like how he says sushi is his favorite food, he clearly doesn't actually like or even eat. Just look at what he orders when he eats sushi - its never an actual selection of normal sushi, its always some disgusting americanized fake seafood stick and avocado stuffed roll with some kind of sweet or spicy sauce dumped all over it. I doubt he's eaten any real sushi in his life and wouldn't touch some of the more exotic stuff like octopus, eel, fish eggs or sea urchin. Stuff that is for the most part considerably healthier than what he orders at sushi restaurants. Except maybe the fish eggs as they are absolutely loaded with cholesterol

While we joke about King Roy, Elk steak has to be one of the top 5 meals of my life. First bite to be honest open minded it was, almost off putting how different it was. But 3 bites in pure love. While the restaurant was nice to offer a-1 I was ready to kill the waiter for touching this meat.
Elk is one of those things that can go either way. It can be really good if its from a quality animal and prepared properly and it can just as easily be one of the worst things you've ever had in your life if its even slightly overcooked or had the wrong spices added. Particularly if its from a particularly lean animal. That'll make it very, very dry and tough. I'd say you got lucky with your experience. Personally I much prefer moose. Its not an easy thing to get ahold of but when prepared properly its just about the best meat i've ever had. Plus it tends to be a bit less gamey and far fattier than most game animals so, so it tends to be less off putting to people that aren't used to eating game. It also makes amazing gravy. Like as in I hoard that shit when I can get my hands on it. Especially for things like pot pies
