What’s the opposite of the Midas touch?
You are not going to believe this, because there is absolutely zero precedent for it happening; it appears Elon Musk has overpromised on something. It has only been two weeks since the Tesla Diner, a charging station and restaurant with a retro-futuristic aesthetic, and it is already significantly narrowing down its menu offerings, according to a report from Eater.
In classic diner fashion, the restaurant offered a robust menu when it first opened, but it is down to just five sandwiches, two sides, two types of pie, shakes, and drinks. Gone are the market salad, club sandwich, hash brown bites, biscuits and gravy, and chocolate chip cookies—along with the veggie patty option for burgers. Breakfast items have gone from being available all day long to only during the morning hours. Even the Shirley Temple and Creamsicle fountain drinks have been removed.
Perhaps most devastating to Musk is the removal of the “Epic Bacon,” a $12 side that offers four strips of maple-glazed bacon (that turned out to be significantly less epic in person).
