After testing a grilled hot dog at six locations last summer, The Habit Burger Grill is making it available everywhere.
It’s on a menu called “Simple Crafts,” a trio of $5 items being served for a limited time.
They are the Chardog, a sliced, all-beef hot dog topped with grilled onions, ketchup and mustard; grilled cheese made with Parmesan-crusted sourdough; and a BLT, also made with toasted sourdough.
Although The Habit is been known for its chargrilled burgers, hot dogs are something new for the chain, which is owned by Yum! Brands and has its headquarters in the same Irvine building as Taco Bell.
The Habit, however, has always done grilled sourdough and recently held a social media promotion on whether its Santa Barbara Char, which is two beef patties on sourdough, should be classified as a burger or a sandwich. The verdict was announced Friday at a restaurant in Glendale and came out in favor of burger, according to a news release.
