"Why did the chicken cross the road? To get to Jimmy's!" -Jimmy Cirrito, JOTT owner

For the second year in a row Jimmy's Old Town Tavern was named the winner of Northern Virginia Magazine's "King of the Wings" contest for its buffalo wings.

The announcement came Monday after Jimmy's was pitted against other great area wings joings like Chics n Wings, Glory Days Grill, Wing Stop and Chicken Bon Chon. Polling for this year's King of the Wings competition first began in October.
