Bradenton,
FL – March 2024 / NewsmakerAlert:
The tropics are just a sip away at
First Watch as the leader in
breakfast, brunch and lunch unveils its newest seasonal menu, packed full
of flavors brimming with island flair. The five limited-time, chef-curated
offerings – featuring ingredients like Cajun shrimp, caramelized pineapple
and coconut – are available at restaurants nationwide*
through May 26.
“This
Spring menu has quickly become one of my favorites because we’re blending
returning customer favorites with brand-new creations,” said Shane
Schaibly, Senior Vice President of Culinary Strategy at First Watch.
“For this menu, we looked to warmer latitudes, like the Caribbean, Hawaiian
Islands and South Carolina low-country, for inspiration. We didn’t have
to look beyond our own social channels and customer comments, however,
to know that Tropical Sunrise needed to make a return to keep its title
as one of our best-selling juice of all time.”
