Welcome to Secret Breakfast / An exclusive newsletter, suspended like a bridge, bad as an IHOP waitress, and remade all the time like bread

Hi there!

They say extreme restaurants, are coming to a city near you. Suspended, underwater, freezing, extremely hot. Whatever.

When I think about Georgia (🇬🇪), I dream about the smell of the authentic Khachapuri (★recipe), but I’m wrong because I should think about a glass hanging bar on a suspended bridge: that’s a photo-op for your feed!

They might be right: who cares what they’re serving over there, if your stomach is shrinking thanks to the vertigo effect?!

PS: for new subscribers… I’m missing a couple of sections this week. Working on something special for the coming issues.

PPS: …and I’m extremely asleep right now.

What Ozempic Reveals About Desire
Maia Szalavitz / The New York Times

Ozempic is one of a new class of diabetes and obesity drugs that may fight addictions and not just those related to food. Because “understanding how wanting, liking and attention are regulated by the brain could lead to better self-control for many”.

Bad Waitress
Becca / Schuh Dirt

Fake resumes, wrong omelets, forgotten uniform pants, IHOP. I really enjoyed this one. Surreal and nice.
