## Story

Irvine, CA –Fried avocado is having a moment—more like a decade. And Habit Burger & Grill is taking this "It" food and turning it into the ultimate crispy-meets-creamy indulgence. Introducing Tempura Avocado Wedges: golden, tempura-fried avocado with a light, crunchy batter infused with serrano and cilantro, giving way to warm, buttery inside. Served with Habit’s signature house-made ranch, it’s the ultimate crave-worthy obsession for avocado lovers.

“I was inspired by all the fried avocado hype on social media,” said Jason Triail, Habit’s Executive Chef. “I wanted to bring that same energy to something unexpected. This is avocado like you’ve never had it before. The contrast of textures, the crispy, airy tempura with the rich, creamy avocado, makes it snackable, dippable, and totally freakin’ addictive.”

To celebrate the launch, Habit teamed up with Foodbeast for an exclusive Avo-Lanche Experience, a one-of-a-kind art show dedicated to avocado culture. Hosted by UNFILTERED podcast creators Zane Hijazi and Heath Hussar, the event featured three levels of avocado-inspired artwork from an incredible lineup of artists*.

Guests mixed, mingled, and toasted among the artwork, leading up to the night’s biggest surprise—at 7:15, trays of crispy avocado wedges descended, delivering the first bite of Habit’s latest innovation with a countdown to a synchronized crunch. Outside, the Habit food truck kept the crispy goodness flowing, ensuring no one left hungry.

Tempura Avocado Wedges officially launch today Wednesday, March 19! Available for a limited time, these crispy, golden wedges put a bold new twist on a fan-favorite ingredient. Get them at participating Habit Burger & Grill restaurants while supplies last!
