The new Buffalo Wedge Salad is available for a limited time at three Fort Wayne Wings Etc. locations only and is part of the popular Wings Etc. Food Fight—facing off against the Big Chicken Salad

FORT WAYNE, Ind. (March 8, 2022)—Now through May 24, 2022, three Wings Etc. Fort Wayne locations (Bluffton Road, Dupont Road, and Maysville Road) will feature a new Buffalo Wedge Salad on their menu. Guests will be able to give feedback on the new salad through the popular Wings Etc. Food Fight where the Buffalo Wedge Salad will face off against the Big Chicken Salad. Along with the salad face-off is a new “Juicy” Beer Fight, with Leinenkugel’s Summer Shandy, Golden Road Brewing’s Mango Cart, and Blue Moon’s Moon Haze in contention.

Guests age 21 and older can vote for their favorites at wingsfoodfight.com through May 24, 2022. Voting also provides an option to register for a chance to win $100 Wings Etc. Gift Cards in weekly drawings through the campaign dates. So far this year, ten $100 gift card winners have been announced, and this new battle offers another opportunity for guests to choose their favorite Wings Etc. menu items and win.

The Buffalo Wedge Salad features crispy Buffalo chicken, blue cheese, and diced tomatoes piled on an iceberg lettuce wedge and comes served with blue cheese or ranch. Meanwhile, Wings Etc.’s classic Big Chicken Salad features grilled or crispy chicken breast, greens, cheddar-jack cheese, bacon slices, egg, tomato, and choice of dressing.

Leinenkugel’s Summer Shandy is a classic warm-weather favorite that features Leinenkugel’s traditional Weiss beer with refreshing natural lemonade flavor. Contender Golden Road Brewing’s Mango Cart is inspired by the iconic fruit cart vendors of Los Angeles, with a light Wheat Ale bursting with lots of fresh mango flavor and aroma, finishing crisp and refreshing. Another citrus favorite, Blue Moon’s Moon Haze is a Hazy Juicy Pale Ale brewed with dried whole oranges to infuse the flavor into the beer, creating a delicious, juicy flavor and bright color.

Who will win? You decide.
