Back to the purpose of your original post, ..."who emphasizes this besides the LC?" John Piper emphasizes enjoying God, his focus is "God is most glorified in us when we are most satisfied in Him", so most of his messages always come back to the enjoyment of God. Just a quick search on google, though, and you can find dozens of articles on eating the word, Jesus, etc. Here are some links with a brief quote as a sample below:

Lesson 6. The Word of God: Spiritual Food For Our Souls
https://inductivebible.org/?page_id=216
Come, all you who are thirsty, come to the waters; and you who have no money, come, buy and eat! Come, buy wine and milk without money and without cost. Why spend money on what is not bread, and your labor on what does not satisfy? Listen, listen to me, and eat what is good, and your soul will delight in the richest of fare.” (Isaiah 55:1-2, NIV).

You Are What You Eat

This morning in Ezekiel, the Lord instructs us to eat his Word. This is a call for each of us to take stock of both the quantity and the quality of what we put in our brains. And above all, it is an urgent command from God to make his Word the paramount portion of our diet.

The Principles of Eating and Drinking God’s Word in Congregation
https://www.holyspiritspeaks.org/pri...rink-god-word/
One must base his eating and drinking of God’s word on the recognition that God’s word is absolutely the truth, and then he should practice and experience God’s word and receive the Holy Spirit’s illumination and enlightenment to obtain a real understanding.

Eat God's Word - You need to make it your own before you share it with others.

Digging into the word of God can be a great resource if we take it in and and fully digest it so that it is a part of our character and it influences us to stay in line with God's desire for our lives. I need to take in God's word daily, meditate on it and apply it to my life. Then I can be a credible testimony of the life changing power of the gospel.

To read Scripture with Jesus is to ingest the Word of God, to depend on it as we depend on food. It means to read in a way that nourishes our true and deepest identity as the sons and daughters of God and to interpret it through our lives.

Feeding on the Lord: So Much More Than a Metaphor
https://davidschrock.com/2018/07/12/...an-a-metaphor/
God is our food, our life, our source of soul nourishment. And those who have been born again know what it means to hunger and thirst for the Lord and his righteousness. Just as your hunger drives you to the pantry, the grocery store, or the restaurant, let your spiritual hunger drive you to the Word. Seek to understand it, yes. But even more, seek to enjoy it. For that is why God has given his word! And when we open the pages of Scripture, they are filled with honey to brighten our eyes and bring us closer to God.

Eating The Word Of God
http://www.plymouthbrethren.org/article/4956
Spiritual Food: The prophet spoke of eating the Word, receiving it inwardly into his soul (Jeremiah 15:16). It is compared to milk (1 Peter 2:2), to honey (Psalm 19:10; 119:103) and to strong food or meat (Hebrews 5:12, 14). Spiritual life is sustained by nourishment from the Word. Growth: As it ministers to our souls, the Word builds us up in our most holy faith (Acts 20:32). Spiritual development requires the food of the Word (1 Peter 2:2).

Eat the Word of God

Jesus, the Word of God, has the words of eternal life. But the Word of God is also daily bread for our pilgrimage back home to God. Only by reading the Bible we draw strength, hope, and joy for the journey. Also, Only by eating the Word of God we have stamina to endure the hardships on the way home. Also, only by reading the Daily Bread we stay focused on God, centered in Christ, and united in the Holy Spirit.

On Eating and Drinking the Word of God
http://www.goodnews.ie/wordofgod.shtml
We need to chew thoroughly on the Word of God, ....what we need is a renewed determination to feed at the table of God's Word and to drink of its wisdom so that we can become the prophetic people our times so desperately need.

You Become What You Eat

Our souls are designed to be nourished by God’s “precious and very great promises”....And Jesus has made the Bible the storehouse of nourishing, living soul food for his saints. It is stocked full of promises, and he invites us to come eat our fill for free (Isaiah 55:1)!
