The Truff Mac dish will offer Noodles & Company guests instant, craveable flavor. We are excited to share this unexpected mashup with Noodles fans.”

Headlining the holiday menu at First Watch is the Million Dollar Breakfast Sandwich, which has bacon, pork sausage, an over-easy egg, smoked Wisconsin gouda, fresh arugula and Mike’s Hot Honey drizzled on a griddled English muffin. The restaurant also is introducing for a limited time the Short Rib Poutine Hash, featuring red wine-braised beef short rib, potatoes, mushrooms and shallots, mozzarella cheese and Wisconsin white cheddar cheese curds, and two eggs cooked any style. Additional items include the Cinnamon Chip Pancake Breakfast and the Caramel Pecan Cinnamon Roll.

“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,” said chef Shane Schaibly, senior vice president of culinary strategy for First Watch. “I can say this Million Dollar Breakfast Sandwich is one of my favorite seasonal menu items we had the joy of creating. 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.”
