First Watch Launches Fall Menu, Ups Support for No Kid Hungry
|

Throughout the year, First Watch donates 25 cents from every kid’s meal sold to the No Kid Hungry campaign, which has provided more than 500 million meals to hungry kids since its 2008 launch, according to Share Our Strength.

“First Watch is honored to partner with an organization that dedicates itself to feeding hungry children all across the U.S.,” said Chris Tomasso, president of First Watch. “Each September, our staff is always eager to come together with others in the restaurant industry to support children and families in need in the communities we call home, and the Dine Out for No Kid Hungry program is the perfect way to do that.”

First Watch’s limited-time Fall menu features creative new dishes alongside returning customer favorites. Customers can find the following seasonal offerings in addition to the traditional breakfast, brunch and lunch favorites at their local First Watch for a limited time:

• Millionaire’s Bacon – Four slices of our signature hardwood smoked bacon baked with brown sugar, black pepper, cayenne and a maple syrup drizzle.
• *NEW* Farmer’s Biscuit Sandwich – Jones Dairy Farm all-natural pork sausage, an over-easy cage-free egg and Sharp Cheddar on a grilled, freshly baked biscuit topped with lemon-dressed arugula, mayo and apple butter. Served with fresh, seasoned potatoes.
• *NEW* Pumpkin Pie Oatmeal – Ancient grain oats slow cooked with pureed pumpkin and topped with pepitas and dried cranberries. Served with maple cream and a freshly baked orange cranberry muffin.
• Pumpkin Pancake Breakfast – Two fresh cage-free eggs cooked any style plus one of our signature spiced Pumpkin Pancakes and a Jones Dairy Farm grilled all-natural savory chicken sausage patty.
• Butternut Squash Bisque – Rich and creamy butternut squash soup sweetened with carrot and a touch of nutmeg. Garnished with sour cream and fresh herbs. (vegetarian)

• Carrot Ginger Chai – Carrot, Chai Tea and organic ginger.

First Watch serves its entire menu seven days a week until 2:30 p.m. The restaurant also offers customers complimentary newspapers and free Wi-Fi Internet access.
