Welcome to Secret Breakfast / An exclusive newsletter, the best place to start your day with expensive proteins, Roman Empire cakes and edible sugar scrubs

Hi there!

Sometimes you just don’t wanna spend time thinking about the next supper.

Let’s go out.

Please, can someone bring in the dinner?

Don’t know what to cook, but let’s see if at least one of the New York Times 100 Easy Summer Recipes will go along with the things I have in the fridge…

Sometimes you just wanna go straight, be quick, or be served.

That’s the mood of this issue. Enjoy!

It’s a K moment

★★★★☆

“While Korean food knows no borders this is a book that focuses on two primary areas: modern Korea itself and Koreatowns and Korean-inspired kitchens throughout the United States”. That’s it. This book looks like a Alison Roman cookbook but it is actually an occasion to fix in time the K-Zeitgeist that’s winning now in the West. If you think your table should be “more Korean”, Deuki Hong and Matt Rodbard got you. Bonus: Deuki Hong's recipe for air-fryer pork belly with meljeot sauce and a podcast.

SOMETHING NEW

Would you join a pop-up newsletter?

Meals That Make Music 
Andrew Coletti / Gastro Obscura

There’s lots of historical precedent for food that incorporates music, from medieval English chefs hiding singing birds in a pie, to the provocative cookbooks of the Italian Futurist movement in the 1930s, which turned eating into avant-garde performance art.

‘Bromakase’ Is the New Steakhouse 
Brett Anderson / The New York Times

If you’re looking for the moment when American omakase restaurants began to threaten steakhouses as the preferred venues for young men of means to commune around prohibitively expensive protein, you could do worse than the weekend of Jan. 8, 2021.
