Wing Zone's Flavor Face-Off Brings Customers to the Table

TL;DR

Wing Zone's Flavor Face-Off contest asks customers to vote for their favorite new sauce recipe on Facebook, with the winner's flavor to be launched at Wing Zone locations in February 2016. The contest ends this Sunday, with the winner receiving a 48-inch HDTV and having their recipe on the Wing Zone menu.

Local resident Kamron Kuntz is one of the top two finalists in the national Wing Zone Flavor Face-Off contest. The social media competition asks wing lovers to vote on Facebook for their favorite new sauce recipe created by Wing Zone fans.

“Wing Zone is all about flavor; guests can add any flavor to personalize their wings, burgers or sandwiches. Our brand ambassadors are flavor-holics,” Dan Corrigan, director of marketing for Wing Zone, told San Antonio Express-News.

Kuntz’s Orange Krush flavor uses lemon and orange juice with brown sugar, vinegar, soy sauce, garlic, ginger and a splash of orange soda. His competition: Bruce Walker's Garlic Butter Blast.

“I’m a big Denver Broncos fan and their defense is called ‘orange crush,’ and I like using that name for Fantasy Football and Xbox,” Kuntz said. “I was inspired by Chinese orange chicken and used some of those flavors in the Orange Krush recipe.”

The contest winner will be announced this weekend and will receive a 48-inch HDTV and his or her winning flavor will be launched at Wing Zone locations in February 2016.

Fans are allowed to vote for their favorite wing flavor once per day on Facebook. The contest ends this Sunday.

“I would feel pretty cool if I won,” Kuntz said. “The main prize would be having my recipe on the Wing Zone menu.”
