CAPE GIRARDEAU, DEXTER, JACKSON, Mo. (Oct. 11, 2022)—The Wings Etc. Southeast Missouri locations in Cape Girardeau and Jackson have done it again. For the second year in a row, the locations, owned by Joe and Michelle Hobbs, won “Best Hot Wings” in The Southeast Missourian’s People’s Choice Awards. The Hobbs family opened a third location in Dexter in December, which was also included in this year’s winning title. Joe Hobbs noted that he and his family are humbled by the community’s support and that winning the title two years in a row is a testament to how much people love what Wings Etc. does.

“We’re very grateful that people love our wings so much that they chose us for the second year in a row as Southeast Missouri’s best,” said Hobbs.

“Wings Etc. is a staple in our communities,” Hobbs continued. “Not only do people love our wings, but they love what we do. We try to be as involved as possible, and we’re very grateful for the opportunity to do so thanks to the continued support of our guests.”
