What?! Red Velvet Pancakes … at the once only 485-calorie-and-under fit eatery? I did a double-take, as the rosy platter of deliciousness whisked by me. I felt a little all-over tingle, was giddy\u00a0by the surprise\u00a0(that looked like the below), wanted to dive in\u2014but didn’t even ask about it. Subliminally, it seemed like it must be a one-off, an exception for some “special” guest, an anomaly that I couldn’t get my mind around.<\/p>\n

But then I got a glimpse of the new breakfast menu<\/a>, and I learned of the culinary refresh\u00a0at\u00a0Citrus Fresh Grill and Lounge<\/a>\u00a0in Aliso Viejo. Oh, that explained it. Good for them to offer such new delights that many might not expect\u2014as well as keep their classic 485-calorie offerings for those fitness-minded. (It is a gym, of course; a world-class gym that feels more like a hip club, but still a gym.)<\/p>\n

On the menu,\u00a0Citrus Fresh Grill and Lounge, complete with an exhibition-style kitchen,\u00a0now offers these dishes among their\u00a0new\u00a0cuisine scene:\u00a0Carnitas Benedict, Brioche French Toast, Carne Asada Chilaquiles, Loco Moco, of course Red Velvet Pancakes<\/strong>\u00a0and more.<\/p>\n

Breakfast is also bloody delicious\u00a0with Rise & Shine spirits like the new Tito’s Lava Bloody Mary of handmade vodka\u00a0and an\u00a0uncommon gluten-free mix\u00a0of\u00a0non-gmo San Marzano tomatoes, imported spices and distilled water.<\/p>\n

Cheers to\u00a0the Lava Michelada too\u2014a draft lager served with LAVA certified non-GMO san Marzano tomato bloody mary mix. Weekends bring even more lively libations.<\/p>\n

Kids now get treated to delicious new fun also with a handful of flavorful choices.\u00a0(But you know they’re going to be all about those new Red Velvet Pancakes! My kids already have breakfast booked in their minds\u00a0this weekend). So enjoy, and\u00a0somebody, pass the syrup!<\/p>\n
