What does 美味しい mean when referring to a person?


What does 美味しい mean when referring to a person? In particular, in this
sentence I found, it is used together with ところ:

> あの人おいしーとこもってくなあ...

Context: a guy is talking about another guy's bad behaviour. I think the
meaning in this case is that the person in question doesn't have any positive
feature in his personality. Is my guess correct? Thank you for your help!




> 「おいしいとこ（ろ）（を）もって（い）く」

had been an **_extremely_** popular phrase for several years until about a
decade ago but it is not very 'cool' anymore. Though its novelty has worn out,
it is still heard often enough.

It basically means " ** _to steal the show_** ", " ** _to take a big bite_** "
or " ** _to take the best part_** ".

For this "new" meaning, 「おいしい」 should be written in kana. Using 「美味しい」 would
look out of place as one is **_not_** talking about food.

If you said or did something with only a minimum amount of effort but it was
received well (like getting a huge laugh in comedy), people around you would
say that phrase about your "achievement".

Furthermore, 「おいしい」 does not refer to the person. It refers to what he said or
did that ended up a "success".

Literally,

> "That guy takes away the (most) delicious part!"
