Wings Etc.’s New Limited-Time, Kicked-Up Mac ‘N’ Cheese Entrées Offer the “Satisfying Warmth” Winter Pub Patrons Crave

Two flavor-forward options, Buffalo Mac and Cajun Mac, debut November 21 in all Wings Etc. locations

FORT WAYNE, Ind.— It’s about to get cold and dark in the states where 80-unit sports bar franchise Wings Etc. Grill & Pub operates, and its latest Limited-Time Offering is seen as the perfect counterpoint.

Beginning November 21, 2023, the company is debuting two flavor-forward Mac ‘N’ Cheese entrées that reflect the brand’s 30-year history of “bringing heat” to its menu offerings. Buffalo Mac features an updated, creamier, cheesier Mac ’N’ Cheese recipe, topped with crispy diced chicken tossed in a choice of one of four heat levels of signature Buffalo sauce, and finished with shredded Monterey Jack. The second LTO option, Cajun Mac, tops the updated Mac ’N’ Cheese with grilled, marinated chicken breast, sautéed tri-color peppers, the company’s signature Cajun spice, and a generous finish of shredded Monterey Jack.

“Mac and Cheese is one of the most satisfying of the comfort foods and it’s perfect for the chillier days ahead,” said Wings Etc. CEO Rob Hensmann. “We’ve not only raised our game with a creamier, cheesier Mac and Cheese, we’ve also paired it with big flavor favorites our guests love: Buffalo and Cajun. These two recipes were met with great enthusiasm in our test locations, and we’re delighted to bring them to all of our guests for the next few months.”

Wings Etc.’s new Buffalo and Cajun Mac ‘N’ Cheese entrées are now available at all locations for dine-in or carryout. Guests can find their nearest Wings Etc. or order online at wingsetc.com/location.
