About Morgenmete:
Breakfast is our window to the world.
Morgenmete is an independent publisher dedicated to exploring the humor and absurdity of life through the lens of breakfast. We believe in print, and in celebrating the best meal of the day, and we love that breakfast is a topic that speaks to both universal experiences and unique traditions in imaginative ways.
Although Morgenmete takes inspiration from iconic food magazines like Lucky Peach and The Gourmand, as well as industry classics like Bon Appétit and Saveur, we aim to publish stories by contributors who don’t come from traditional food-writing backgrounds. Breakfast is the starting point for our editorial, but our diverse cast of writers, illustrators, and photographers interprets that topic in endlessly creative and varied ways.
About the issue:
Morgenmete’s Always Connected Issue believes the breakfast table is the best lens through which to examine our screen-based culture. It’s hard to get away from being extremely online, and breakfast is no exception. We examine what this means for the first meal of the day with deep stories, tantalizing photo essays, delicious dishes, and plenty of hot takes. Come hungry.
