This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Truly the American way.
Imagine being the richest person on earth and best you can come up with for a new restaurant is the most boring menu at ridiculous prices.
Edit: To be fair tho, gonna need a source on this. Since OP hasn’t provided a link or anything.
Ridiculous prices? This is pretty much normal in my area, which isn't one of the most expensive places in the country. Boring ass menu though
I was about to say the same, but then realized that none of the entrees include fries. $14 for a burger and fries is not unexpected at your average sports bar, but without fries for a plain Jane burger? I don’t know what the market is like in LA …
But $12 for four strips of bacon is outrageous, and $5 for this cookie is a slap in the face
The hot dog says "served with fried potatoes" at least. If the burger doesn't come with fries that's criminal. How can you serve a burger without fries

Tesla Burger and Epic Bacon. Very cool, Elon...
He really has the naming skills of an 8 year old.

I would never go because Elon is associated with it, but otherwise it's kind of unremarkable. I've seen big chain restaurants with similar prices in the area. My biggest gripe is is that kid's burger is the same price as the adult burger.
The kids grilled cheese (which is literally just bread and American cheese) is also $13
Obviously the "just price everything at what we think people will pay" strategy.

Why they fuck would you take one of the most expensive sources of beef (Wagyu) and make chili out of it?
Because it sounds nice? Literally, zero chance that is actually wagyu. It would be inedible due to the fat.
Wagyu is still just a type of cow and if you aren’t eating expensive graded cuts it’s not that much more expensive than angus. It’s still pointless to eat in a chili as the whole advantage of it is the marbling

Yalls care too much about billionaires. This is entirely irrelevant to me. Who cares?
Buddy the community is called mildly interesting. As in not very interesting. The point is they don't really care about it.
The Boring Restaurant
Remarkably unremarkable
Insipid menu.
Not a lot of things here I don't already make at home.
Making chili out of premium beef seems a waste.
Anyone with 2 kids would buy an adult burger and fries and split it between the kids.
Making chili out of premium beef seems a waste.
Indeed. 99% of the point of chili is that you can use the lowest grade stuff and it doesn't matter because it just cooks down and gets loaded with spices. Not that I would expect a multicentibillionaire to care about food economy
It still most likely is the lowest grade stuff, just with bits of leftover Wagyu tossed in just so they can call it Wagyu chili.

Surprisingly reasonable for a slightly upscale LA joint. Only issue is ... who the fuck in their right mind would waste actual Wagyu beef in some chili? You can put almost any beef in chili, nobody will notice because it's fully submersed in a stew that tastes like chili. So why use the most expensive beef on the planet for it? Unless it's just fake Wagyu, which tbf, I guess it probably is at that price point. Still a dumb marketing gimmick to anyone that knows anything about beef.
Restaurants, industry wide have done what Weinerschnitzel has done for decades:
Take the unused/unpurchased cooked meats and put them into a container in the refrigerator. The next day, grind them up and put them in those stews and chillis.
It saves money actually.
They're not serving Wagyu anywhere else on their menu, that I recall seeing anyway.
Which means that Chill and probably half that menu is catered by some Restaurant group daily.

He still doesn't understand who his base is...
No one who wants organic food or can pay those prices likes Musk still
Does he even have a base anymore? Who hasn't he pissed off?
And of course he's got Martin's on there. Fucking TACO lackey BS.

It's weird seeing so many people defending these prices. Their arguments are all I'm getting scammed like this at other places so therefore it's not a scam here. Y'all paying $14 for a Smashburger with no sides y'all getting fucking scammed and shouldn't be paying for it anywhere.

They should be fucking arrested for wasting Wagyu beef in a chili.
I'm seeing the parking lot as a cybertruck meetup, lol
Might be why he’s doing it. Those sad acts would go for this.
Why is the kid's grilled cheese $4 more than the adult one? Just because they cut the crust?

Da fuck is New School American Cheese?
Neoliberal cheese. It takes all the milk from the cow and leaves nothing left.
Makes you wonder if the ovens will explode like his cars and rockets
You have to be dumber than a bag of rocks to be a fanboy of a corporate douche. They're mostly tolerable at best.
"all day breakfast" do you see that McDonald's? Donyou see it? That's how to do it.
I don't know what's wrong with the McDonald's breakfast procedure, but McMuffins apparently takes a lot of time. I ordered 8 one time, to feed the family, and the teen went seriously? I can only make 4 at a time, so it's going to take a while
