  1. Очень вкусно! (ochen vkusno) ✔
  2. Очень дорого! (ochen dorogo)
  3. Очень далеко! (ochen daleko)

Why: Вкусно means tasty and очень means very. Дорого is expensive and далеко is far, so those would be odd things to say about dinner.

Huh, didn't know that: Вкусно can also describe a delicious smell, as in вкусно пахнет, 'smells delicious'.

The dad joke
Vkusno is the compliment that makes every grandma give you seconds.
