I used to have this problem. Then one day I decided that if Chester got hungry, he'd eat. I stopped hand feeding and trying different foods and lo and behold, 4 days later I caught him eating. Since that day he has been eating fine. It doesn't really matter to me anymore if he doesn’t eat on Tuesday, because he'll eat on Wednesday.

We do use a food cube that's filled with kibble and he rolls that around rather than eating from the bowl most of the time.

As long as he's healthy, my advice is to stop making a big deal out of it. He will eat (unless he has an medical condition and your vet should have detected it if he does).

There are medical conditions also that can be damaged by enticement feeding, like Pancreatitis.
