Daytime Dining leader invites brighter days
this winter with five limited-time seasonal offerings, including
shareable Gingerbread Spice Donuts and breakfast hash featuring
kimchi and gochujang aioli
BRADENTON, Fla., Oct. 31,
2023 /PRNewswire/ -- In the season of spice and
everything nice, First Watch is giving brunchgoers nationwide*
a new limited-time menu full of familiar classics and fresh,
unexpected takes on breakfast, brunch and lunch, now through
January 7, 2024. Returning fan
favorites like the Cinnamon Chip Pancake Breakfast and Gingerbread
Spice Donuts join new innovations like the Steak & Bacon
Breakfast Burrito and Sunny Seoul Hash, the latest in First Watch's
extensive line-up of menu items incorporating global flavors.
This menu brings the warm comfort of
cinnamon and gingerbread with new ways to satisfy cravings for more
global flavors.
"While there's no beating the familiar comfort of cinnamon and
gingerbread around this time of year, we also want to continue
meeting our guests' cravings for more global flavors in everyday
favorites," said Shane Schaibly,
Head Chef at First Watch. "Take our Sunny Seoul Hash, for
example, which infuses a touch of spice from the gochujang aioli –
made from fermented red chili peppers and garlic – and tang from
the kimchi, all balanced by hearty staples like potatoes, eggs and
braised pork. Whether you're trying these flavors for the first
time or already familiar with them, we're excited to offer them as
one more reason to come together at First Watch."
Every year, Schaibly and his team taste their way through
different cities to uncover culinary trends and flavor combinations
that expand First Watch's menu. Many of First Watch's preparation
methods and ingredients come from first-hand experiences during
these culinary tours, inspiring seasonal dishes reflecting Mexican,
Vietnamese and, most recently, Korean cuisine. These tours stretch
back more than a decade to the restaurant concept's first seasonal
menu which ran nationwide in 2012.
First Watch's full holiday seasonal menu includes:
- Sunny Seoul Hash - Shaved seared pork tossed
with freshly seasoned potatoes, diced red bell peppers, kimchi,
Cheddar and Monterey Jack. Topped with two cage-free eggs cooked
any style, scallions, sesame seeds and gochujang aioli.
- Steak & Bacon Breakfast Burrito -
Tender seared steak, hardwood smoked bacon, scrambled cage-free
eggs, freshly seasoned potatoes, diced red bell peppers,
house-roasted onions, seasoned black beans, Cheddar and Monterey
Jack. Wrapped in a grilled whole wheat tortilla, covered with
Vera Cruz hollandaise and al pastor
sauce and topped with fresh avocado, house-pickled red
onion, Cotija cheese and cilantro.
- Cinnamon Chip Pancake Breakfast - Two
cage-free eggs cooked any style with a cinnamon chip pancake and
your choice of hardwood smoked bacon or chicken, pork or turkey
sausage.

season, five times a year.
