In the weeks since the 2026 FIFA World Cup kicked off, spirits across North Texas have been high, and the city is thriving off the energy. Whether fans are attending games at Dallas Stadium or partying <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dallasobserver.com\/arts-culture\/things-to-do-during-world-cup-dallas-40654318\/\">at several fan events and festivals<\/a> in the surrounding cities, the joy in the air is palpable \u2014 and the party is still unfolding.<\/p>\n<p>On Wednesday, June 24, Dallas-based Wingstop opened the doors to its House of Flavor pop-up in Deep Ellum, bringing sports, music and fashion under one roof. Many of us watch sports at the bar, a wing joint, the field and even at the barbershop. The House of Flavor managed to combine all these components flawlessly last night.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Upon entry to the House of Flavor, fans enter a green dreamscape. Behind the first bar are barbershop seats, with barbers on duty ready to cut hair, line up fades and make trims as the matches play on nearby screens.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Elsewhere, fans can order traditional drinks, as well as Wingstop-themed cocktails. Among our favorites was the Lemon Pepper Fix, made with Ketel One Citroen vodka, orange liquor, lemon juice and Sprite. We also sipped on the sweeter Chamoy Ranch Water, which is a fruity combination of Milagro Blanco tequila, watermelon juice, lime juice and sparkling water, rimmed with chamoy and Tajin.<\/p>\n<p>Sign up for the Music newsletter to get the latest stories delivered to your inbox<\/p>\n<p>THANK YOU!<\/p>\n<p>You&#8217;re all set.<\/p>\n<p>CLOSE\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" height=\"683\" width=\"1024\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/125A0049-e1782412160219.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-40690369\"\/>Need an edge up? In the mood for some wings? Want to see BigXThaPlug? You can somehow do all of those things at House of Flavor.<\/p>\n<p>On opening night, New York rapper Ferg \u2014 formerly known as A$AP Ferg \u2014delivered an all-encompassing set of his biggest hits. We had the chance to speak with Ferg backstage in the green room shortly before he took the stage. And though he reps Harlem through and through, Ferg said Dallas fans always show him good ol\u2019 Southern hospitality.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve been coming to Dallas for my entire career \u2014 the past 12 years in my life,\u201d Ferg told us. \u201cI\u2019ve actually been at [The Bomb Factory] probably about three times or four times. It\u2019s bringing back a lot of good memories.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He said he was instantly excited to collaborate with Wingstop, as it has always been \u201cembedded in our culture\u201d and \u201cmade a very big stamp inside our community when it comes down to flavor.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Of course, we had to ask what his go-to order is, and we were surprised to learn he\u2019s actually a vegetarian.  <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe French fries and the corn \u2014 gotta have the corn,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n<p>Ferg says he decided to pivot to vegetarianism as his performances demanded greater agility from his body. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m always like teetering back and forth, depending on how I\u2019m feeling,\u201d he says. \u201cI\u2019m always performing and using my body a lot. So I just listen to my body, and when my body tells me to lay off something, I just follow the voice.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" height=\"683\" width=\"1024\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/125A0779.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-40690364\"  \/>Harlem rapper Ferg opened the pop-up\u2019s 10-night run to a very hyped crowd. <\/p>\n<p>Such efforts paid off as he delivered some of his biggest hits from over the past decade, including \u201cWork,\u201d \u201cShabba\u201d and \u201cNew Level.\u201d From what we could see, not a single person was seated during his set.<\/p>\n<p>Over the past few years, Ferg has maintained a consistent output of music \u2014 his most recent album,\u00a0\u201cDarold,\u201d\u00a0dropped in 2024, and a mixtape,\u00a0\u201cFlip Phone Shorty,\u201d was released last summer. He pretty much lives in the studio these days, and told us the next project will feature him exploring new sounds.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t know if I\u2019m ready to spill the beans, but just know that it\u2019s very different from everything else that I\u2019ve done,\u201d he said. \u201cIf you\u2019re a Ferg fan, you know that I like to be on the cutting edge of the next thing. I\u2019m always following my own instincts, so it\u2019s gonna be fun. It\u2019s gonna make you want to move, and it\u2019s gonna be exciting.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>What to expect <\/p>\n<p>While we may have to wait for new music from Ferg, wing aficionados won\u2019t have to wait long to try new flavors. Throughout the night, we got to sample Wingstop\u2019s new Sweet Heat Chamoy with Taj\u00edn varietal. The dry rub combines sweet and savory elements through tangy fruit notes and a blend of Latin spices and citrus heat.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Those visiting the House of Flavor also got a coupon for a free plate of wings and fries. Additionally, fans can get free tattoos from artists on site, face paint and other sorts of memorabilia.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Other notable appearances throughout the night included esteemed fashion designer Charles Smith II and DJ Cozy Campos, the latter of whom will be performing a set on July 1.\u00a0Other DJs set to take the stage throughout <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.houseofflavor.com\/\">House of Flavor\u2019s lineup<\/a> include DJ Aniya Henry, True Colors and Guwop. House of Flavor is open daily from 11 a.m. through late at night. Festivities will wrap on Thursday, July 3, with a performance by Dallas\u2019 own BigXThaPlug.<\/p>\n<p>If the opening night \u2014 which saw fans cheering on a 3-0 victory by Mexico against Czechia \u2014 set the tone for what\u2019s to come, the House of Flavor is going to make for a festive fan destination through its July 3 run. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Wingstop&#8217;s House of Flavor has taken over The Bomb Factory.
