Last weekend, I was invited to come sample The Habit Burger Grill’s new ‘Golden Chicken Sandwich’. Since I absolutely love the Santa Barbara chain’s burgers, I accepted and I’m pleased I did. This Golden Chicken Sandwich ($6.25) is made using a fresh, filleted chicken breast double hand-dipped in a seasoned flour and buttermilk batter then […]
