meikyo: 〔俗〕他の事柄をすべて無視して、それだけに話題を絞り込む意を表す。なんてったって。なにしろ。「━、今日は暑いなあ」「━、残業続きで疲れたよ」
  Comments: 
That might be meikyo's sense 2. I think the nuance of "とにかくおいしい" (from Sam's links) is "there are other things you could say about this food but one thing's for sure: it's tasty". It's not merely an intensifier. The distinction between this usage and sense 1 is rather fine.
Added sense.
