But if my food array looks like this…

…it's not possible unless you do this first…
foreach($food as $item) {
$food_notmulti[$item['id']] = $item['name'];

Or am I wrong? Is there a way to "pluck" from the multi-dimensional
array where the ID is not an index?
One approach might be:
foreach ( $food as $index => $row ) {
foreach ( $row as $key => $value ) {
if ( $value == 'taco' ) {
$found_taco = $food[$index];
print_r( $found_taco );
}
}
}
If you don't know value needed to directly reference the data then
you'll have to loop through until you find it. I suspect folks have
already written recursive array search functions that would do this in
fairly generic way.
