Every weekday morning since 1952, the TODAY show has had a metaphoric seat at the breakfast table of millions of viewers. This unprecedented position has yielded unique insights into the ways American families seek connection, comfort, and conversation around food – creating, in essence, a snapshot of America’s cultural evolution. With findings from a new TODAY research survey on breakfast ready to debut exclusively at SXSW, and a recent slew of buzzy breakfast product launches (smart coffee pots, a reformulated pancake recipe at Denny's), there is no question that breakfast is disrupting the way Americans eat, think, and live.
