Why it scores 63 difficulty
Chick-fil-A holds the top spot with 4,252,431 ratings behind it. 10 of the ten carry over 100,000 ratings each, which is what makes this difficult: rating count is the slowest thing to change about a competitor, and it is most of what holds them there. Ratings are spread out: the top three hold only 54% of them, so no single app owns the page. Only 2 of the ten carry the phrase in the app name, so the store is matching most of them on their subtitle and keyword field instead — which is where a smaller app can compete without renaming itself.

How to rank for “food”: no top app leads with it

At 4 characters it fits an app name with 26 to spare, yet the 2 names in the top ten that use it are much longer — brands with the keyword attached, which leaves the phrase competing from inside a longer string.

It is a single word, so the choice is simple: Apple counts it once across the name, subtitle and keyword field. Put it in the strongest field you can spare, because saying it twice adds nothing.

None of the ten opens its name with it — the 2 that spell it out put it later in the name.

Whether it is worth the slot depends on what else you could use it for. “food ball” scores 40 on opportunity against this term's 25, at difficulty 0 rather than 63. 17 of the 24 related terms score higher; the other 7 score lower.

Choosing keywords you can rank for explains how the three numbers are worked out, and App Store metadata, field by field covers which field a single word is worth.
