Habit Brings the Garlic. The Parmesan. And the Ranch.

IRVINE, Calif., April 28, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Habit is bringing bold, unapologetically fresh flavor to the menu with a new Garlic Parmesan lineup, available for a limited time starting April 29.

Built for dipping and drizzling, the lineup centers around Habit’s housemade Garlic Parmesan Ranch, crafted with real buttermilk, bold Parmesan, and rich garlic, mixed fresh daily in-house. It’s the kind of sauce that doesn’t just sit on the sidelines – it shows up in every fresh bite.

The lineup includes:

  • Garlic Parmesan Chicken Club
    A fresh take on a classic club. This sandwich features juicy chargrilled chicken, smoky bacon, melty cheese, and bold Garlic Parmesan Ranch on toasted Parmesan-crusted sourdough. A bite that hits just right.
  • Garlic Parmesan Ranch
    Bold, creamy, and unapologetically fresh. Parmesan and rich garlic come together in our housemade Garlic Parmesan Ranch. Built for anything within dipping distance.
  • Garlic Parmesan Fries
    Golden, crispy fries tossed in a garlic Parmesan sauce, topped with shredded Parmesan, and served with housemade Garlic Parmesan Ranch. Fresh, bold, and 100% dip-ready.

“Garlic and Parmesan is one of those flavor combinations people already love, so we wanted to take it further and make it our own,” said Chef Jason Triail, Director of Culinary Innovation at Habit. “For us, it always comes back to freshness. Real buttermilk, bold garlic, sharp Parmesan, made fresh daily. And once you start dipping, it’s hard to stop.”

Whether you’re going all in on the fries or the Garlic Parmesan Chicken Club is your vibe, this limited-time lineup is designed to bring bold flavor to every bite.

Available at participating Habit locations nationwide starting April 29 through July 21, or while supplies last. Fresh flavor. Dip responsibly.
