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

![The Bar at the End of My Nightmares.](https://secretbreakfast.com/content/images/cdn-cgi/image/fit=scale-down-format=auto-onerror=redirect-quality=80/uploads/asset/file/7273523c-b0c0-404b-8779-12a14c479157/screenshot_2023-06-06_alle_02-03-13.jpg)

The Bar at the End of My Nightmares.

Hi there!

They say [extreme restaurants](https://www.axios.com/2023/06/02/restaurants-destinations-dining-travel?ref=secretbreakfast.com), 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](https://www.kingarthurbaking.com/recipes/khachapuri-georgian-cheese-bread-recipe?ref=secretbreakfast.com)), but I’m wrong because I should think about [a glass hanging bar on a suspended bridge](https://edition.cnn.com/travel/article/new-glass-bridge-with-diamond-shaped-bar-opens-in-georgia/index.html?ref=secretbreakfast.com): 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?!

Piero

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.

Annie Atkins is a Welsh graphic prop designer who basically works on objects to fill the backgrounds of films and TV shows, including Wes Anderson’s “The Grand Budapest Hotel.”

While downloading a file on WeTransfer I found her [10 rules for working under pressure](https://wepresent.wetransfer.com/stories/manifesto-annie-atkins?ref=secretbreakfast.com). This one deserves your click.

## **FOOD FOR LATER**

[What Ozempic Reveals About Desire](https://www.nytimes.com/2023/06/04/opinion/ozempic-weight-loss-addictions-desire.html?ref=secretbreakfast.com)  
**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”.
