First Watch is inviting guests on a culinary tour through its first seasonal menu of 2024, with limited-time items inspired by regional foodie hot spots like Brooklyn, New York and Mexico City. The “Jump Start” menu is available nationwide at more than 500 restaurants in 29 states through March 17.

“At First Watch, we believe a year has five seasons – which is why our new seasonal menu is nicknamed ‘Jump Start,’” says Shane Schaibly, head chef at First Watch. “This season’s dishes embrace the momentum of the new year while also appealing to those seeking comfort fare during colder months. We’ve traditionally lightened our winter offerings heading into spring, but this time, we’re leaning into the indulgence of savory meats and layers of flavor. Our new Brooklyn Breakfast Sandwich embodies this sentiment with the look of an everything bagel and flavors that’ll transport you to a New York deli counter.”

Among the new items is Holey Donuts. These cinnamon sugar-dusted cake donut holes feature chocolate sauce and warm, mixed berry compote for dipping.

The rest of First Watch’s seasonal menu includes:

• Brooklyn Breakfast Sandwich – Shaved pastrami, Gruyère cheese and house-roasted onions with an over-easy cage-free egg, house-pickled red onions, arugula, mayo and Dijon mustard on a griddled everything-seasoned brioche bun. Served with lemon-dressed organic mixed greens.
• Barbacoa Chilaquiles Breakfast Bowl – Seasoned, braised beef barbacoa tossed with Cheddar and Monterey Jack, salsa roja and crispy corn tortilla chips, then topped with fresh avocado, lime crema, Cotija cheese and scallions. Served with cheesy scrambled cage-free eggs and seasoned black beans with housemade pico de gallo.
• Blackberry Lemon Cream French Toast – Thick-cut, custard-dipped challah bread griddled and topped with lemon cream, fresh blackberries, mixed berry compote, crème anglaise and spiced gingerbread cookie crumbles. Lightly dusted with powdered cinnamon sugar.
• Mango Passion Palmer Juice – Mango, passion fruit, organic ginger and green tea.

First Watch’s revolving seasonal menu is guided by the restaurant’s “Follow the Sun” food ethos to source fresh ingredients, wherever and whenever they are in season. These seasonal menus change every ten weeks, five times a year.
