So let me get this straight:

This menu contains items like "Grand Canyon Dog: A two foot 'freedom' baguette, hollowed out and filled with hot dogs, mac & cheese, bacon and our world famous brown mustard and spicy wasabi chilli. Served with an onion ring tower and our world famous apple ranch dressing" and "Ol' Faithful: Every 10 minutes your water will fire a blast of our world famous beefy beef chilli into your mouth from a fire extinguisher. We will keeping [sic] firing until you tell us to stop!"... and your takeaway is that the prices are unrealistic?

(I'm just kidding. My takeaway was that they didn't use an Oxford comma, and there are other grammatical mistakes.)

That's actually what stood out to me as well.

Here's a worrying thought, on Earth Michael and Janet are mortal right? Is there any way they can accumulate good points given they know the rules?

Obviously the ol' Faithful is ridiculous but I'd totally eat the Grand Canyon Dog.

I'm not a hot dog fan, but I love the idea of two feet of "freedom" baugette filled with chilli hot dog mac. And the notion that they called it a "freedom" baugette is just a perfect caricature for an American themed restaurant from hell. Actually... how positive are we that they're not just in an even bigger bad place? Because that restaurant was not much different than the pun-themed Good Place Neighborhood restaurants.

The Mount Rushmore was even more preposterous, with four deep fried heads of lettuce and barbecue ranch sauce (among other things).

Wait wait wait...

What if the metaphysics of the show are actually Dualist?

What if there is no "bad place", merely different layers of the material realm overseen by a cold bureaucracy that decides when a person has accumulated enough punishment/good deeds that they go up a "level" or down depending on how they've responded?

The Landfill Fries are the thing on that menu that you could have just told me was on the menu of a real restaurant, maybe an indie BBQ place, and I would have never questioned it. If Guy Fieri had it on the menu at one of his restaurants, he'd have added at least three more ingredients.

The tuna lollipops though... Those sound pretty good. I'd order that.

It’s amazing that they can generate this insane quantity of jokes for something that’s just a location for 1/3 of an episode at most.

Does his actor improv bits because I remember seeing one of the gag reels from S1 where he basically does the same scene over again (him guessing how he died) but with incredulously dumb things that are still very Florida. Or is it a case of the writers having multiple options and letting the actor do them all and then picking the best one in editing?

Because I think this is a case of that.

From the podcast, it seems it's mostly the latter, where the writers will have alt-lines available for different takes, but the actors do get some leeway to improv.
