If you’d rather eat wings at your own pace, Native has you covered. To celebrate the ongoing competition, the Holmberg Special will hit Phoenix menus on Aug. 8. The satisfying meal includes 10 juicy wings and a refreshing Stella Artois (a bottle or 16 ounce) for $19.79. The limited-time offer will run through Sept. 8, and for every special sold, $1 will be donated to the Arizona Humane Society, a cause close to both Holmberg and Native.

“No matter how hot, I’ll stick anything in my mouth to help the Arizona Humane Society because I like animals more than people,” said Radio Host and DJ, John Holmberg.

“We are thrilled to collaborate with Holmberg to host not only a lively wing eating competition, but to also create a menu item that will benefit the community,” said Ashley Montgomery, VP of Marketing for Native Grill & Wings. “Every animal deserves a good home, and we hope with our initiative that we can further the impactful work of the Arizona Humane Society.”
