### Welcome to Secret Breakfast / The best place to start considering that affluence separates people, and that mythological creatures don't make for ethical nigiri

Hi there! 

Since *The Odyssey* hangover seems behind us, I think it's time I share this bookmark with you. 

[*The Lovers*](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eUa2V044BK4&ref=secretbreakfast.com) is an independent animated film that involves a reluctant seafood chef, an crucial dinner, and a trapped siren. **You can watch that for free but do so only if you wanna be shaken.** 

Disclaimer. This story bites and some of you might feel uncomfortable. Its ingredient are food but also grief, guilt, blood (some), jumping into the unknown, and whatever one can find in a story like this. 

Things will get smoother from now on, I promise. 

*Piero*

## I like Grand Slam tennis for the things you can eat or drink

![](https://secretbreakfast.com/content/images/2026/09/honeydeuce.png)

Every Grand Slam has its own edible mascot now. 

Wimbledon has **strawberries and cream** (no recipe needed). The US Open has the **Honey Deuce** (★[recipe](https://www.foodandwine.com/honey-deuce-cocktail-recipe-6543953?ref=secretbreakfast.com)), a $23 cocktail with melon balls cut to look like yellow tennis balls. Roland Garros floats on **Champagne**. The Australian Open probably copied the American formula with its own [star-loved](https://observer.com/2026/08/honey-deuce-cocktail-history-us-open-tennis/?ref=secretbreakfast.com) **Grey Goose Lemon Ace** (★[recipe](https://www.greygoose.com/cocktails/grey-goose-vodka/lemon-ace-sparkling-vodka-lemonade.html?ref=secretbreakfast.com), same commercial partner), or [the other three cocktails they serve](https://www.delish.com/food/a73585043/best-us-open-cocktails-2026/?ref=secretbreakfast.com).

None of these are really about tennis. They're souvenirs you can drink.

Or you can fancy at home with friends.

### [What Happens When A Chef Loses Her Sense Of Taste](https://www.bustle.com/life/excerpt-olivia-tiedemann-cookbook-eat-like-the-rich?ref=secretbreakfast.com)

**Olivia Tiedemann / Bustle (book excerpt)**

Before 1.1 million TikTok followers and a debut cookbook, Tiedemann was a line cook chasing perfection to the point of burnout. She traces her path from an early mentor who calmed her chaos, through years in toxic kitchens, a bout of COVID that took her sense of taste for eight months, and a breaking point that pushed her out of restaurants entirely. A private chef gig in the Hamptons, cooked with total freedom, is what led her back to the stove and eventually onto camera..

### [Does Gen Z Have the Patience for Fine Dining?](https://www.culturedmag.com/article/2026/08/20/food-gen-z-fine-dining-trends/?ref=secretbreakfast.com)

**Paloma Baygual Nespatti / Cultured**

Five chefs, from Dominique Crenn to Flynn McGarry, on how Gen Z is reshaping fine dining. Less ritual, less alcohol, more freedom to choose how long to sit at the table. The camera is now another guest. Luxury, they say, is no longer scarcity but knowledge: knowing who grew what, and why.
