For the past week the most talked about restaurant opening in Southern California, possibly even the world, has been the Tesla Diner: a futuristic-themed eatery and charging station that opened, to much fanfare, in the heart of Hollywood. So, what does the future look like according to Elon Musk? Well, honestly, quite similar to the past. The restaurant Features rollerskating waiters and waitresses (just like Sonic drive-thrus), two drive-in movie theater screens (just like the 1950s), a massive parking lot for up to 80 electric vehicles to charge simultaneously, and a humanoid robot that slowly dispenses popcorn (when it’s actually working). And the food? Well, far from gastronomic inventions crafted by some of the great culinary minds, the menu is much closer to a current fast food joint, boasting burgers, hot dogs, fries, “Epic Bacon,” “wagyu beef chili,” and, for some horrifying reason, chicken and waffles with mayonnaise . A picture of the diner’s mayo-slat...
