Rav Nachman of Breslov - 9

Likkutei Etzot - Moadei Hashem - Shabbat - 15

"The essence of honoring Shabbat is through eating. Eating on Shabbat is very valuable because the day is completely for G-d and holiness. Therefore, it is a great mitzvah to eat much on Shabbat, for this will be a rectification for desecrating the Shabbat."

All of our actions, including something as physical as eating, has a higher function. Our eating on Shabbat is not simply a matter of enjoying a better menu of foods than one has during the week. Instead, eating on Shabbat is a method of making the seemingly mundane into something holy.
