all-time favorite foods vs all time favorite foods

Both "all-time favorite foods" and "all time favorite foods" are correct, but they are used in different contexts. "All-time favorite foods" is the more common and correct phrase, as it is used to describe foods that are favorites over a person's entire lifetime. On the other hand, "all time favorite foods" could be used in a more general sense to refer to favorite foods at any given time.
