“I think I’d like breakfast out,” my wife told me the other day. Her birthday was fast approaching, and she loves First Watch.<\/p>\n
When I told the boys, though, they were quite upset. They’ve been cooking their mom a birthday breakfast for as long as they can remember. The breakfasts are always tasty, if a little bit heavy on chocolate syrup.<\/p>\n
“She probably just forgot,” I told them.<\/p>\n
Returning to my wife, I double-checked that she did, in fact, want to skip out on this birthday tradition.<\/p>\n
“Can you ask them to use hot fudge, instead of chocolate syrup?” she asked.<\/p>\n
“Of course.”<\/p>\n
Her breakfast this year featured eggs cooked by her oldest son, and a fruit plate produced by his little brother. The fruit plate had a carefully balanced tower of cookies in its center, with a dish of hot fudge bubbling on the side.<\/p>\n
The birthday girl seemed to enjoy it. I know I did.<\/p>\n
You just can’t get a bowl of hot fudge at First Watch.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
