London has its first ever 24/7 restaurant, the Duck and Waffle, atop Heron Tower on Bishopsgate. One of its most heavily trailed dishes is an apposite metaphor for everything that’s wrong with everything.

“Breakfast for city workers from 6am to 11am will include Foie Gras ‘All Day Breakfast’” [Via Hot Dinners]

Wake up. Climb tower. Eat grotesquely fattened bird liver. Go to work.

Remarkable.
