Flying with flavor: The Wingstop experience

-

WINGSTOP, a fast-casual restaurant specializi­ng in flavorful wings, has been around for 21 years and from their simple beginnings, they have certainly soared to great heights. The secret of their success: flavor. With over 2 billion wings sold, Wingstop has captured and perfected nine recipes with flavors that have made everyone who has ever tried them, crave for them. This has helped them win rave reviews from national taste tests, “best of” reader polls and industry rankings. Now, Wingstop has taken flight to reach new destinatio­ns, introducin­g their unique culture and lifestyle which centers on crave-inducing flavor.

In the Philippine­s, Wingstop has been in the scene for just about a year with seven stores currently open and a quick growth projection of opening 50 more in the next six years. The Philippine­s, a country that is culturally rich, diverse and open to new experience­s, especially when it comes to food, can now experience Texas-sized wings cooked and served in their award-winning style. Wingstop’s brand culture of sharing and celebratio­n has also proven to be an instant fit with the optimistic and fun-loving traits of the Filipinos.

Through taste, Wingstop is able to communicat­e a language that everyone can understand no matter where it is in the world. With flavor as their core, they are able to serve delectable and perfectly cooked wings that everyone can share and enjoy with friends and loved ones. Wingstop’s call to flavor consistent­ly receives a tremendous amount of positive response--evidence that the crave for Wingstop is for real.

With nine flavors in their current roster and one more coming right around the corner, each has its own unique way of being remembered. Even as tastes evolve through the course of time, you can expect Wingstop to always have new, wild and creative flavors that will excite the palate. After all, it is their passion, it is their cause, it is their revolution.

Here are Wingstop’s crave-worthy nine flavors: Atomic--sauce, sweat and tears. It’s a habanero-fueled punch in the mouth for those who are into that sort of thing; Cajun--All the warmth of Original Hot with a little trance-inducing voodoo sprinkled on top; Hot Buffalo--The Original. The one and only. It’s the classic blend of heat and tang that made us famous; Louisiana Rub-Addictive simplicity. Deep South Cajun and garlic spices give this wing a little lagniappe; Mild--Noth- ing timid about it. It’s that classic Buffalo spirit without the sweaty brow; Hickory Smoked Barbecue-A summer night’s cookout distilled into a sauce. Smoky sweet. Big and bold; Lemon Pepper--Unique. Inspiratio­n of rap lyrics. Creator of cravings. It changes the game with its unreal citrus zing; Garlic Parmesan-This epic pairing may have originated in the Mediterran­ean. But it was perfected in our kitchen. Some things are worth wrecking your breath over; and Teriyaki--Monumental oriental. Take a trip to the Asian spices mingled into this satisfying­ly sweet sauce.

These nine flavors are not meant to give options, they present possibilit­ies. Wingstop invites everybody to embrace the crave.

Everyone can now get Wingstop’s flavorful wings at their recently opened store at Glorietta 2, Makati, as well as in Eastwood Citywalk, University Mall in Taft, Fairview Terraces, Starmall Prima in Taguig, Starmall Las Piñas, Estancia in Capitol Commons, and Greenhills Promenade.
