Clifton's Cafeteria, part of a chain of eight Clifton's restaurants, was the oldest surviving cafeteria-style diner in Los Angeles. It was the largest public cafeteria in the world. Founded in 1931 by Clifford Clinton, the design of the restaurants included exotic decor and facades that were "kitschy and theatrical", and would eventually include multi-story fake redwood trees, stuffed lions, neon plants, and a petrified wood bar.
