Wings Etc. Kicks Off Lenten Season with a Meatless “Food Fight”

Wings Etc. Grill & Pub will observe Lent 2022 with popular meatless menu items, highlighted in a “Food Fight” that invites guests 21 and older to vote on their favorites—and have a chance to win a weekly drawing for a Wings Etc. $100 Gift Card (no purchase necessary, void where prohibited, see site for details).

FORT WAYNE, Ind. (March 2, 2022)—During the 2022 Lenten season, Wings Etc. Grill & Pub’s 78 locations will promote the first-ever “Food Fight: Lent Edition. In an extension of the chain’s popular “Food Fight” format, where popularity of featured items is decided via guest-driven online voting, the Lent version highlights meatless menu options that are in demand during the season.

Now through April 14, 2022, the Meatless Beyond® Burger faces off with Wings Etc.’s Crispy Fish Tacos. In a bonus round, guests can choose which lighter beer option pairs best with their Lenten meal—”Old School” Busch Light or “New School” Bud Light Next. Guests ages 21 and older can vote at wingsfoodfight.com. Voting also provides an option to register for a chance to win $100 Wings Etc. Gift Cards in weekly drawings.

Wings Etc.’s Beyond Burger is growing as part of a larger, national meatless trend, and is especially popular during Lent. Wings Etc.’s Crispy Fish Tacos feature beer-battered fish in flour tortillas with lettuce, tomatoes, salsa, and a signature lime crema sauce.

In the “Old School” vs. “New School” beer fight, Busch Light takes on newcomer Bud Light Next. Reigning champion Busch Light is brewed longer to create a lighter body and fewer calories while always delivering that classic taste, while Bud Light Next is brewed for “what’s next”—offering light beer and seltzer drinkers a crisp, refreshing carb-free alternative.

Eligible voters can join the pool of qualified entrants, one of which is chosen at random for the $100 Gift Card. A winner will be selected weekly, from March 2, 2022, through April 14, 2022.
