Clija Chait, 34-Year-Old From the Northeast, Signs the Menu of the Tesla Diner, Futuristic Drive-In in Los Angeles
A building shaped like a flying saucer, servers in retro outfits, and snacks served while you recharge your Tesla. This is the proposal of the Tesla Diner, the new venture of Elon Musk in Los Angeles. But what few people know is that the menu of California’s most eccentric restaurant has Brazilian seasoning — and northeastern, according to the website Veja.
From Childhood in the Northeast to Stardom in LA
The mind behind the dishes is Clija Chait, a 34-year-old Brazilian who grew up in the Northeast amid scarcity but transformed simplicity into culinary art.
“Turning little into much has always been my talent,” says Clija.
