I had the idea for a Discordian food menu. Easy to print off beforehand, fold and whatnot, then slip into your nearest restaurant for giggles. I don't have editor at the moment, but that should change, so for now I'm just posting the idea. Get on with it.

You first.
I have something like this in the works for the little appetizer and beer lists that they have standing up on the tables. The snag is whether or not to just have it weird or to include actual Discordian concepts. I did a preliminary one with Villager months ago. One of the meat options was human meat, with the extra option of free range or Chinese political prisoner.

You're more of an "idea guy", right?

Except that's just a little obvious...
I'd be more tempted to take the actual beer menu, copy it... and add the beers I WANT them to carry. They don't carry Guinness? Heck with that... add it to the menus. Let a dozen people start ordering... maybe they'll improve the beer list.
I think we once put together a menu of nothing but MemeBombs, in the style of a Chinese carryout menu, like:
Black Sheep are Still Sheep......................................$23.42
A Conclusion is Where You Stopped Thinking...............$17.63
And so on. Might be fun to take a "real" menu, and only change one or two things on it, then slip it back in.

It was more of a spur of the moment thing, poorly done just for shits and giggles, but I liked the idea of it, and decided to put it on my list of ideas to go over a bit more and improve.
I like your idea of it. Actively altering the menu until they actually alter the menu.

Discreetly flagging the added items as, *New,* *Manager's Suggestion,* or *Special* in order to increase rate of ordering might be a thought, too.

Might cause the server some grief.

Sadly, true. And some servers bust their asses enough that they don't deserve that crap.
Ach! The fatal flaw.
Ok: This will only work if you're working there.

That, or if you've already determined that ALL the servers there need a kick in the head. (Yeah, I've been to places like that. Just not often. Make me wait a half hour for my bloody check, and the odds of me returning go WAY down.)
About once a month, I used to print out those over the top ARE YOU HUNGRY FOR SOME FUCKING WAFFLES graphics and slip 'em into the menu at IHOP.
