Are you a fan of ABC's hit reality show "The Bachelor?"  Then you should scratch the pj's and ice cream plans you have for viewing the premiere on Monday Jan 5th  on your couch, and give yourself a much-deserved 2015 upgrade to Mike Halter's hip Lucia restaurant at Kirkland Park Place, where the it will be showing on all screens and two former Bachelor couples will be on hand to mingle with you.  From the looks of it, we've got one Maple Valley contestant this season, so you have another WA resident to root for.

That's right- we've got some locals that have been on the reality show, fell in love and are still around to talk about it.   And they will be on there to answer questions every Monday at the Lucia viewings from 8-10pm this season.   Expect a special Bachelor cocktail menu, food, and fun contests to keep you on your toes. 

Jason and Molly Mesnick (wedding photo- how cute can ya be??!) are Kirklanders that met on the 13th season of The Bachelor and have been married for almost five years and have an adorable daughter, Riley (1) together, in addition to Jason's superstar son, Tyler (9).  Jason is now in residential real estate with the Northwest Real Estate Group. Molly is a talk show host for 106.1 Kiss FM in the morning.

Chris Siegfried and Desiree Hartsock, who live in Seattle currently (she is from CA, he from OR),  met on Season 9 of "The Bachelorette" and are preparing for their January 2015 wedding.  Chris is a mortgage banker for Home Street Bank and Desiree is a bridal stylist, conveniently enough. ;-)

Call Lucia for reservations to get in on the excitement of the new Bachelor season with Chris Soules and to celebrate our own local reality stars, Jason, Molly, Chris and Desiree, and meet them first hand.  This party continues every Monday from 8-10 for 10 weeks starting Jan 5th.  425-889-0200.
