Duff's has the best wings - or do they?

BUFFALO, N.Y. (WIVB) - There's a new king of the chicken wing!

This is important stuff here in the land of chicken wings. Finally, after years and years of debate, we now know who makes the best chicken wings in town - at least for the moment.

People in WNY are loyal, especially when it comes to wings at two local restaurants. The wing war between Buffalo's legendary Anchor Bar and Amherst's popular Duff's is finally over. Or is it?

The Travel Channel's new show, Food Wars, brought host Camille Ford to Buffalo to play referee as a blind taste tester panel finally decided which restaurant deserved "Best in Town."

Duff's was packed at lunchtime, still celebrating the win.

Duff's Manager Ed Conley said, "It's exciting. It's a nice thing Travel Channel did for us and Buffalo. Lets everyone know we have best wings in the country."

Ivan Toscani said, "They won. I congratulate. What else can I say?"

The loss hit hard at the Anchor Bar, which is home to the original chicken wing. But a rematch is already in the works. This time on the Food Channel. Toscani says both restaurants welcome a second competition.

"People will go to Duff's, try wings. Then they come [here] and try wings. So we all are winners," said Toscani.

But right now, Duff's is the wing king - at least until the next competition.

Conley said, "Who will come out on top? Hopefully we do, but you never know."

So the wing war in WNY really isn't over. Both restaurants are loving the attention and the national exposure that it's bringing to Buffalo.
