The Garbanzo Mediterranean Fresh Loaded Fries Menu is a series of meal-sized dishes from the brand that transform the humble French fries into a powerhouse dish. The menu features three options to choose from including the Gyro Feta Fries, Fiesta Feta Fries and the Garlic Steak Fries, which are each crafted with a base of French fries and topped with ample protein and toppings. The dishes boast a fusion recipe that blends American with Mediterranean to work well as a shareable side or a standalone meal, depending on preferences.
Vice President of Culinary Chef Cole Thompson spoke on the Garbanzo Mediterranean Fresh Loaded Fries Menu saying, "Guests already know and love our signature fries because they’re crispy, golden, and seasoned just right. For this menu, we wanted to take those fries to the next level by turning them into a complete meal. By layering them with our signature proteins, fresh Mediterranean ingredients, and bold sauces, we’ve created something that brings together the comfort of loaded fries with the flavors we’re known for."
