BRADENTON, Fla., Nov. 01, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- As temperatures continue to fall, giving way to the holiday and winter seasons, First Watch – a leading Daytime Dining concept with more than 420 restaurants nationwide – invites guests to warm up with a new menu of seasonally inspired dishes, including a decadent new breakfast sandwich featuring its famous Million Dollar Bacon and the one-and-only Mike’s Hot Honey.

“I’ve been a fan of Mike’s brand for years, and it’s been a personal mission of mine to incorporate this hot honey into one of our dishes here at First Watch. I can say this Million Dollar Breakfast Sandwich is one of my favorite seasonal menu items we had the joy of creating,” said Chef Shane Schaibly, Senior Vice President of Culinary Strategy for First Watch. “While this incredible glaze was originally created to drizzle on some fresh New York pizza, it’s being used in so many other applications today. The combination of Mike’s with our fan-favorite Million Dollar Bacon, smoked Wisconsin Gouda, all-natural pork sausage and a griddled English Muffin – it’s a flavor combination that you simply have to taste for yourself.”

First Watch’s holiday menu selections are available nationwide* through Jan 2^nd and include:

• Million Dollar Breakfast Sandwich – Million Dollar Bacon, Jones Dairy Farm all-natural pork sausage patty, an over-easy cage-free egg, smoked Wisconsin Gouda, fresh arugula and Mike’s Hot Honey® drizzled on a griddled English muffin. Served with lemon-dressed organic mixed greens
• Short Rib Poutine Hash – Red wine–braised beef short rib tossed with fresh seasoned potatoes, house-roasted Crimini mushrooms and shallots, Mozzarella cheese and all-natural Wisconsin white cheddar cheese curds. Topped with two cage-free eggs cooked any style, a creamy demi-glace sauce and fresh herbs.
• Cinnamon Chip Pancake Breakfast – Two cage-free eggs cooked any style with a cinnamon chip pancake and your choice of bacon, all-natural chicken, pork or turkey sausage.
• Caramel Pecan Cinnamon Roll – A warm cinnamon roll topped with a brown sugar caramel sauce, pecans and a lightly sweetened crème anglaise. Perfect for sharing!
