## Story

Guests can dig into the Garlic Parm Tendies, which start with Haven’s signature chicken dipped in mild before being coated with the brand’s garlic parm shake. More than a simple garlic powder and Parmesan combination, the shake features Pecorino Romano, herbs and spices, giving the classic combination a little more character. The new Pesto Ranch, Haven’s house-made ranch blended with fresh basil pesto, offers a creamy option for dipping.

The Garlic Parm Tendies are available as a Tendie Duo for $10.99 or a Tendie Trio for $13.99. Guests can also opt for a Tendie Duo Combo for $15.75 or a Tendie Trio Combo for $18.75, with Haven’s traditional Southern sides rounding out each order.

“When we develop a new menu item, we want the flavors to complement the chicken rather than compete with it,” said Rob LaTronica, founder and culinary lead for Haven Hot Chicken. “The Garlic Parm Tendies have a richer, more indulgent profile, while the Pesto Ranch cuts through that richness with a bright, fresh flavor. That balance is what makes the combination work.”

Haven’s Pumpkin Spice Banana Puddin’ will also be available through Nov. 30, while supplies last. Priced at $5.49 at Connecticut locations and $5.99 at the Franklin, Mass., location, the dessert is whipped with pumpkin spice and pumpkin spice caramel, then topped with cream, more pumpkin spice caramel sauce and a pumpkin spice Nilla wafer brown sugar shake.

Whether guests are in the mood for something savory and herby or a sweet finish, Haven’s fall offerings bring together familiar flavors, quality ingredients and generous portions — the kind of food that feels right as the seasons change.
