Habit Burger & Grill’s “Hot Dads” Calendar is Here. Order Now to Get it by August 1
And Keep an Eye Out, The Hot Dads of Habit X UFC GYM Calendar is Hitting “Live with Kelly & Mark” on July 10
IRVINE, Calif., July 08, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Summer just got hotter. The Hot Dads of Habit x UFC GYM Calendar is officially available to order at ufcgym.com/habit, with delivery by August 1. It’s five months of bold dads paired with bold salads, photographed in their element and flexing what fatherhood really looks like in 2025.
To find the dads featured in the calendar, Habit and UFC GYM launched a nationwide search, inviting dads from across the country to submit photos and videos showcasing their strength, spirit, and swagger. The selected winners were flown to Los Angeles for an exclusive photoshoot for the five-month summer calendar.
And the buzz is heating up, as the calendar will be featured on Live with Kelly & Mark this Thursday, July 10, bringing these real dads and their even realer flavor to a national audience.
"We spent months in the kitchen perfecting a bold new lineup of salads, all packed with freshly chargrilled chicken, because no one does hot, fresh chicken quite like us,” said Jack Hinchliffe, Chief Marketing Officer at Habit Burger & Grill. “For too long, salads have been typecast as something for Moms while the Dads reach for the burgers. That’s just not the case here. These salads are hearty, flavorful, and full of protein. So to celebrate, we paired each one with a different Hot Dad to prove once and for all: salads are for everyone.”
Meet the Hot Dads:
-
Mr. Santa Barbara Cobb, Caden Wilson, Vero Beach, FL
A Florida firefighter and soon-to-be first-time dad. Bright, bold, and built for the heat, on and off duty. -
Mr. Mango Miso Crunch, Ron Smith, Moreno Valley, CA
A father of two with sweet heat and surprise moves. (His wife submitted him without telling him. He’s still blushing.) -
Mr. Harvest Chopped, Anthony Disano, Warren, NJ
Dad of one. Sweet and quietly complex, he’s got layers of flavor. -
Mr. Grilled Chicken Caesar, Wenzy Reyes, Murrieta, CA
Dependable and classic, this dad of one exudes a quiet kind of confidence. -
Mr. Side Salad, Zach Sowers, Los Angeles, CA
He’s got charm and a sharp sense of humor that completes the meal. Currently looking for a Mrs. Side Salad.
“This calendar is more than just fun, it’s a nod to the values both brands share,” said Adam Sedlack, CEO of UFC GYM. “These men live with grit, heart, and purpose. That’s what makes them strong, not just at the gym, but in life.”
The limited-edition calendar runs from August through December and is available for $24.99, including U.S. shipping. Net proceeds benefit The Habit Restaurants Foundation, supporting local nonprofits and community impact programs.
“Parenting is a chance to leave a better version of yourself behind,” said Anthony, aka Mr. Harvest Chopped. “The Harvest Chopped Salad is real, and intentional. Just like the life I’m building for my son.”
