One time at a Buffalo Wild Wings in Jacksonville — the nice one, not the one above the gas station — I ate 50 in two minutes! Everyone at the hospital was so impressed.

The Episode
Flying shrimp, margarita mix, frozen yogurt, and chowder fountains. Food in The Good Place is more than mere sustenance; it's a storytelling device that enriches the show's themes and character arcs.
In "Someone Like Me as a Member," Chidi's heartfelt plea to Michael results in a decision to fight to keep Eleanor in the Good Place. This leads to Trevor (an immortal being that resides in The Bad Place) and his unruly entourage arriving in the Good Place for negotiations. He uses the opportunity to give Eleanor a taste of what her life will be like in the Bad Place.
Meanwhile, the entourage takes advantage of The Good Place’s Janet, making a request for jalapeno poppers, to which the confused Janet responds, “Sure! Quick question, what is a "jalapeno"? Also, what is a "poppers"? Also, what is "jalapeno poppers"?
