They are selling NFTs. They are making money, albeit not a lot, on the back of the goodwill of the Olive Garden brand. I think this is distinct from true parody say paying to watch a comedian who makes a joke about Olive Garden, or a free site that makes a joke about them.

If I paint a picture of an Olive Garden restaurant and sell it, is that infringement?

That seems more or less identical to the conceit here.

If you sell it on paintingsofolivegarden.com then maybe. The domain name implies association.
