If you're in Arizona and hunting for the perfect mix of sweet treats and sumptuous bites without breaking the bank, look no further. ABC15 is showcasing a slew of deals across the Valley this week, running from July 29 through August 4. From freebie wings on National Chicken Wing Day to steep discounts on summer desserts, there’s an assortment across local eateries promising delight for your palates and wallets alike. It’s currently the season to indulge in National Ice Cream Month with joyful shake giveaways, and even a chance for kids to eat free at select restaurants.
For instance, ABC15 details a notable deal where ATL Wings lets customers who purchase 10 wings nab an additional six wings for free to honor the day dedicated to all things wings. Over at Mountain Mike's, rewards members can slice 15% off their order with a purchase of $30 and any wings, with similar half-off wing specials at 18 Degrees Bar & Grill. On the sweeter side of things, White Castle offers a 'BOGO free dessert-on-a-stick' in light of National Cheesecake Day.
Moving into unexpected culinary territory, dessert chicken wings are the latest indulgence that’s packing a punch in the flavor department. Tommy Wyatt, co-founder of Wingaddicts and wing aficionado, shared quite the savory experience with such a concept. According to the Wingaddicts blog, dessert wings like those smothered in Nutella, smores, or even Oreo crumble might sound unconventional, but are in fact, tantalizing alternatives to traditional wings. Wyatt recollects his eye-opening encounter with Smores wings, admitting, "Even as I type this, my common-sense brain is screaming 'NO!'" Yet, the unusual pairing proved to be a hit.
The culinary exploration into dessert wings illustrates a growing trend in pushing the boundaries of familiar foods. Establishments like Noisy Wings in Charlotte, NC, and Groggy Frogg in Connecticut tempt diners with inventive, dessert-inspired creations. These spots are transforming the wing scene with options that range from Strawberry Pancake to White Chocolate wings, and from pink "Barbie Wing" to award-winning heat-packed "Hellfernutter." Despite marking a clear departure from traditional wing offerings, the dessert variety is earning its spot on menus and in the hearts of adventurous foodies.
