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.

The restaurant bets on modern flavors with a casual touch:

Everything is designed to match the futuristic and functional atmosphere of the space.
More Than a Restaurant: A Journey Through Time and Space
The Tesla Diner goes beyond food. It combines:
- Charging stations for electric cars
- Outdoor drive-in cinema
- Architecture inspired by UFOs and pop culture from the 1950s
It’s an interplanetary experience with flavor — and innovation.
Even with Elon Musk often at the center of controversies, including political ones, Clija prefers to remain neutral:
“Cooking has no party. My focus is on creating experiences, not discourses,” she asserts.
