In a kitchen that seems to exist in a dimension where time moves both too fast and too slow. A crazed woman, wearing a pearl necklace, has stormed into the kitchen with curlers on her head.

In front of her, a man who could easily be mistaken for a pig – both in his height and enthusiasm – is cutting up slabs of meat with the precision of someone who has been doing it too long to care. His butcher’s linen is more red than white, a testament to his craft, or perhaps just poor laundry habits. The checkered background, stark black and blue, looks like a chessboard where breakfast is the only piece in the game, and it is already losing.

A fish, its glassy eyes wide with existential terror, waits its turn on the cutting board, as if wondering how a meal that already looks like a love letter to cholesterol ended up here.

Breakfast will be served hot, greasy, and fast enough to make you wonder whether eating it is an act of nutrition or a defiance of mortality itself.
