So in a desperate attempt, I went back to the first food she ever ate when I first adopted her many years ago, Fancy Feast. The quality is obviously lower than any of the food I'd get her but she will eat the entire thing without fail.
Nowadays, I just put half Fancy Feast Grilled with a small portion of her old food. I'd split half and half on the dish so that the scent starts getting mixed. On the expensive food half, I'd mix a light layer of Fancy Feast to entice her to eat that side as well. So far, so good. She's eating the entire thing now but will refuse to eat it unless there's the scent of Fancy Feast in there.
So all in all, I ended up using a cheaper low quality brand just to get the scent and flavor to meld with the more expensive brand. If it's the only way she'll eat her food again, this is exactly what I'm going to continue doing.
Final Notes - Surprisingly enough, Wheat Gluten isn't 100% bad for cats. It's specifically bad for cats with insensitivities/allergic to it. The argument usually goes back to "cats are obligate carnivores" but you have to remember that they eat rats and rats eats a variety of fruits, veggies, wheats and grains, etc etc. What they consume the rat, they end up consuming a lot of the nutrients in the rat's diet. The whole "meat by-product" part leads people to think hooves, road kill, sick animals, feces, or anything gross in nature... Aren't actually allowed in commercial cat food/pet food in general. The meat-byproduct tends to be organ meat that aren't sold for human consumption. So in reality, it's people projecting their thoughts of what they believe is disgusting in their cat's food. So parts like hearts, spleen, liver, bones, and other intestines that humans do not usually eat. Cats do in fact eat all of of it when they consume their natural diet, a rat.

And...it's a favorite of the ferals and some of the rescues - who vomit with the $1.50/can "good stuff." A fed cat is best.
I'm so torn on these deals, cats aren't thrilled with the beef but they will sometimes eat it. If they'd just come down on the price of the poultry or fish varieties I'd be set.
My two feral cats, that don't get a lot of wet cat food, refuse to eat this.
They will lick the gravy up and walk away.
The next morning it looks like dry tofu pieces in the bowl. Yuck!
I don't blame them.
