Maybe the chef is really good at origami? I suppose tissue paper is gluten free and vegan, but I wouldn’t want to eat it. Maybe it’s a comment on how boring and bland gluten free and vegan stuff (supposedly) is?
Do you see the “tissue paper” as a last-minute change from just “tissue” as the latter might have felt tied to animal anatomy? Though we do I think sometimes speak of “plant tissue”?
Actually, the idea of a ‘generic tissue’ that can be adapted, as needed, to the shape and taste of a vegetable or animal muscle tissue (meat) in the kitchen, works better for me than the tissue paper text. Maybe a fail in the editing process.
I think what the waitress is saying with “tissue paper” is that the menu’s wording is fake. So if you want something not on the menu, like vegan or gluten-free, the chef will whip up something in the back and we’ll lie to you about that, too.

It’s gibberish. Maybe Lee is just stringing together words he sees in the news?

I hope it’s at least recycled. Perhaps hemp.
