Carolina Gold Returns for Summer Push Detroit Wing Company is rolling out a limited-time menu centered on its returning Carolina Gold Sauce, available through September 20. The lineup combines the mustard-based barbecue flavor with loaded comfort foods timed for Labor Day, cookouts, and football season. Inspired by South Carolina barbecue and built on the brand's signature Honey BBQ, Carolina Gold balances rich mustard notes with sweetness and a hint of smokiness. The sauce pairs with the chain's wings, tenders, and newly expanded loaded items.

## New Menu Additions The Carolina Gold launch includes five new loaded offerings: - Garlic Parm Loaded Mac N' Cheese: Spiral noodles with signature cheese sauce, boneless chicken tossed in Garlic Parmesan, and finished with Parmesan cheese.
- Chicken Bacon Ranch Loaded Fries: Crispy fries with signature cheese sauce, boneless chicken, crispy bacon, and homemade ranch dressing.
- Create Your Own Loaded Mac: Spiral noodles with signature cheese sauce and boneless chicken in any house-crafted flavor, plus customizable toppings.
- Create Your Own Loaded Fries: Crispy fries with signature cheese sauce and boneless chicken tossed in any Detroit Wing Company flavor, with customizable add-ons.
- Crispy Chicken Melt: Crispy chicken tenders, melted cheddar cheese, and ranch dressing wrapped in a buttered tortilla, grilled until golden, served with sauce or dip.

Founder's Take "Carolina Gold is one of those sauces that keeps you coming back for another bite," said Gus Malliaras, founder of Detroit Wing Co. "This sauce is a natural fit for everything from wings to loaded mac and fries. The result is a lineup with every item built to satisfy big appetites and bring people together while giving guests more ways to make the menu their own."

Detroit Wing Co., recognized as "Best Wings in Michigan" by outlets including Buzzfeed, Delish, and Esquire, continues to compete in the fast-casual wings segment by emphasizing customization and house-crafted sauces—differentiators that drive repeat visits during high-traffic seasons like late summer and football.
