From Portland to Buffalo, these are 5 of the best chicken wing destinations across America
Saucy, spicy, mild, fried, smoked — however they’re prepared, chicken wings are an American staple, especially during football season.
Wings have come a long way since their humble beginnings in Buffalo, New York, where they were popularized in the 1960s. Today, inventive variations have popped up at establishments across the country, some of which have garnered glowing reviews and accolades.
The Takeout recently compiled a list of the best chicken wings in every state, with the selections based on multiple factors, including customer reviews, reader polls, local news coverage and wing competitions.
Here are five of the best chicken wing destinations across the country, from Oregon to New York.
CHICKEN WING PRICES ARE DOWN — HERE'S WHY YOUR FAVORITE RESTAURANT MAY NOT CUT PRICES
This locally owned and operated eatery has been around since 2005 and is known for its freshly made, inventive sauces, which are available in unique flavors like Spicy Peanut, Raspberry Habanero and Jamaican Jerk. Its Buffalo Lime Cilantro sauce won first place in the Creative Spicy category at the 2018 National Buffalo Wing Festival, and that same year the restaurant won third place in the Craft Wings category.

Fire on the Mountain also offers a rotating "sauce of the month," as well as vegan wings.
The Scoville scale measures the spiciness of chili peppers so, as the name suggests, Scovilles in Salt Lake City likes to bring the heat. Guests can choose from an array of sauces and dry rubs, including Scotch Bonnet, Ghost Pepper, Carolina Reaper and more spicy selections. Those who don’t love extreme heat opt for milder flavors like Cajun Honey BBQ and Buffalo Cilantro Lime.
Scovilles earned the title of "Best Wings" in Salt Lake City Weekly’s 2025 "Best of Utah" awards, with the write-up raving about the wings’ crispiness and sauciness.

This Topeka restaurant is no stranger to the chicken wing spotlight. Its wings were crowned "Best Wings" by the Topeka Capital-Journal’s Community Choice for five years in a row, from 2020 through 2024. It was also awarded the title of "Twisted Wing King" at the Topeka Wing Fling in 2021, thanks to its Buffalo sauce and lime-pepper rub hybrid.

Would a chicken wing round-up really be complete without mentioning Buffalo? Home of the Buffalo wing, the city has no shortage of places to get a wing fix. Although Bar-Bill Tavern is not where the Buffalo wing was originally created, it is a spot that holds its own and serves up some of the best wings in the area, according to locals and Visit Buffalo Niagara.
Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen told Barstool Sports Radio in 2019 that Bar-Bill Tavern was his favorite local spot to get wings.
World-record bluefin tuna caught off the coast of San Diego on rod and reel by sport fisherman
Fans of sushi in the San Diego area rejoice, as a world record bluefin tuna was reeled in off the Southern California coast earlier this week.
Markus Medak of Shearwater Fishing was able to snag the nearly 500-pound beast with the help of a fellow unnamed fisherman, on just a rod and reel.
According to the New York Post, the tuna weighed in at a staggering 446 pounds after being gilled and gutted, making it the largest bluefin ever caught on a rod and reel.

The fish was then brought to Tunaville Market and Grocery in Point Loma, which sells to local San Diego restaurants.
Medak and his buddy could hardly believe their eyes when the monster catch got close to the boat.
SEA LION PULLS OFF BRAZEN TUNA HEIST AS FISHERMAN TRIES AND FAILS TO HOLD ONTO HIS FIRST BIG CATCH
"We both got a look at it, and we didn’t even say anything," he told a local FOX affiliate.
Tommy Gomes, the owner of the Tunaville Market and Grocery, was thrilled to see the catch being brought to his doorstep, calling it a "big deal for the City of San Diego and for sportfishing."
"There’s a saying, ‘The world needs more tackle boxes and less Xboxes.’ We need to teach kids how to fish," he said.
Truer words have never been spoken.
Gomes says this year’s "Super El Niño" could have helped with ushering the record-breaking bluefin to SoCal, as the weather phenomenon may be bringing more exotic sea creatures to the Pacific coast.
The fish was reportedly broken down in a live demonstration at a local restaurant on Thursday evening.
A representative for the restaurant assured that every part of the tuna will be used, even its spinal fluid, considered a delicacy in some cultures.

You'll either snag the catch of a lifetime, or enjoy some damn good sashimi at a local restaurant in the process.
Star from 'The Breakfast Club' looks unrecognizable with long beard and hair in rare public sighting
Former Brat Pack member, Judd Nelson, looked unrecognizable when spotted during a rare outing earlier this week.
The 66-year-old star was photographed while out-and-about in West Hollywood. He was photographed driving around town in his motorcycle, which featured yellow rims and accents throughout.
In the photos, Nelson sported a long beard and long hair, which he covered with either a gray baseball cap or a black helmet.
He kept things casual in a pair of camo pants, a red and blue flannel shirt, layered with a long black coat, which he accessorized with a pair of black sunglasses.
ROB LOWE EMBRACES BRAT PACK LABEL AFTER REVEALING NICKNAME WAS ‘DESIGNED TO BELITTLE’ FAMOUS GROUP
Nelson rose to fame in the 1980s as a member of the infamous Brat Pack, which was a nickname given to a group of young actors who frequently appeared in movies together throughout the decade.
The term was a play on the Rat Pack, which referred to a group of Las Vegas entertainers who often performed together in the 1950s and 60s, including Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin and Sammy Davis, Jr.

Other members include Nelson's "The Breakfast Club" co-stars, Emilio Estevez, Molly Ringwald, Ally Sheedy and Anthony Michael Hall, as well as Demi Moore, Andrew McCarthy and Rob Lowe.
The term was coined by writer David Blum, who called the group of actors in a June 1985 article for New York Magazine, after both "St. Elmo's Fire" and "The Breakfast Club" were released in the same year and featured many of the same cast members.

"They kind of portrayed my generation of actors as being entitled and irresponsible and unprofessional," Nelson told US Weekly in March 2024, regarding his feelings about the nickname. "Whereas my experience was everyone was on time. Everyone knows their lines. It’s so weird."
He also found it "weird" that the article made it seem as if the members of the Brat Pack were good friends, saying, "I lived in New York, then I did a movie with people out here [in L.A.]" and then once he was back in New York he lost touch.

Former Brat Pack member, Andrew McCarthy, produced the 2024 documentary, "Brats," which featured many of the pack members, and allowed them to reflect on their feelings about the term.
Nelson refused to participate in the documentary, explaining, "I don’t even know who’s in the Brat Pack."
"It’s like, why kind of rebirth something that wasn’t necessarily fun?" he said. "How can we be experts on something that didn’t ever really exist?"
Other Brat Pack films include "The Outsiders," "Sixteen Candles," "Pretty In Pink" and "About Last Night..."
Kristin Cavallari rocks daring denim and lace look in sizzling new photos
Kristin Cavallari is going back to her roots with a bold new campaign for Uncommon James.
The 39-year-old reality star and entrepreneur modeled pieces from her jewelry brand's new Detour collection in a desert-set campaign that she described as a return to "old-school Uncommon James."
Cavallari opened the Instagram carousel with a close-up shot of herself leaning against a row of mailboxes in the sun. She wore a fitted, light-wash denim corset-style top paired with layered gold necklaces, hoop earrings and stacked bracelets from the collection.

Her blonde hair was styled in loose, windswept waves as she rested one hand against the mailboxes and looked directly at the camera.
"The new Detour collection is here and we're throwing it back to old-school @uncommonjames: effortless, edgy and the ultimate cool-girl jewelry 🖤," Cavallari captioned the post.
A second image pulled back to reveal the rest of the unexpected look.

Cavallari posed beside the mailboxes in white lace underwear and slouchy cream-colored boots, placing one hand behind her head as she faced the camera. The denim top stopped just above her waist.
In another shot, Cavallari looked down while leaning against the mailboxes, with one hand resting near her shoulder. The wider frame showed the stark desert landscape surrounding the roadside setting.
Fans had plenty to say about the throwback-inspired shoot.
"It's giving Britney Spears Crossroads🔥," one person wrote.
"Drop the leg workout routine immediately 🔥😄," another commented.
One fan focused on the campaign itself, writing, "DETOUR looks so good on you 😉❤️🔥."
Others weren't as sold on the styling.
"You look gorgeous but not a fan of the outfit, less chic than usual :/," one commenter wrote.
Another questioned the unusual setting, asking, "Love her, but why at a post office?"

The new campaign marks another chapter for the company Cavallari launched in 2017.
In an August interview with Business Insider, the former "Laguna Beach" star said Uncommon James remains at the center of her busy work schedule, alongside her Fizzen sparkling protein drink, "Let's Be Honest" podcast and entertainment projects.

"My three kids, who are 10, 12, and 14, are my first priority," Cavallari told the outlet. "Next comes Uncommon James, the jewelry, skincare, and homeware company brand I launched in 2017."
Despite being the face of the company, Cavallari said much of her work happens far from a traditional office.
"For the rest of the week, I'm usually working on my laptop at my kitchen counter," she said. "It's a mix of editing podcasts, prepping for guest interviews, and pitching projects over Zoom."
Cavallari described herself as a "big picture" founder who particularly enjoys the creative side of building the brand.

"I get really excited about marketing and big, brand moments throughout the year," she said, while acknowledging she still finds herself involved in smaller decisions.
Her ambitions as an entrepreneur weren't always part of the plan.

Cavallari was 17 when she became a reality television star on MTV's "Laguna Beach: The Real Orange County" before later appearing on its spinoff, "The Hills."
"When I was on 'Laguna Beach,' I didn't have business aspirations," she told Business Insider. "To be honest, I don't think I had any aspirations at 17. Once I was on TV, however, doors opened, and I ran with the opportunities."
That eventually led Cavallari to launch Uncommon James.
"I wanted to prove to everyone, and to myself, that I could make it in the branding world," she said. "That's why I launched Uncommon James."
Nearly a decade later, Cavallari said her definition of success has shifted.
"I've done the hustle, and although I'm still grinding, success for me would look like slower mornings, a peaceful mind, and having time in my day to do what I want."
Four Wisconsin cops injured after suspected drunk driver barrels toward crowd, sparks police chase
Four Wisconsin police officers were injured Saturday morning as a suspect drove into a crowd of people.
Officers with the Green Bay Police Department responded to a disturbance at a food truck at about 2:15 a.m. local time Saturday and were attempting to take some people into custody when a car drove toward bystanders and officers, prompting one officer to open fire.
The suspect then fled, which led to a short police chase that ended when officers did a PIT maneuver, a tactical move used by police to stop drivers.

The driver was taken into custody without incident on suspicion of operating a vehicle while intoxicated.
The four officers suffered injuries that were not life-threatening and received medical treatment.
No injuries have been reported from the shooting.
Green Bay Police Chief Chris Davis said at a subsequent news conference that the department didn’t know yet if the driver was connected to the disturbance near the food truck.

Pink hits back amid backlash for criticizing Macklemore's pro-Palestinian concert remarks
Pink is doubling down on her criticism of Macklemore following his pro-Palestinian comments during a recent concert.
On Sept. 4, Macklemore opened for Ed Sheeran at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, and he used his time onstage to perform his anti-Israel song, "Hind's Hall." He repeatedly chanted "Free Palestine" while a slideshow played on the screen behind him, showing footage from the war in Gaza.
Several fans were upset by the performance, including an Instagram page called "Stop Antisemitism." The page shared a video criticizing Macklemore, calling the move "awful." Pink reposted the video to her own Instagram story, which started a new wave of backlash from people criticizing her for seemingly being pro-Israel.

Initially, Pink didn't explicitly share her opinion on the matter, but on Sept. 11, she took to Instagram to explain her thoughts in an emotional statement.
"I’ve been quiet in my own words for a week, which you know isn’t like me. So here they are," she began.
The "So What" singer explained that she'd reposted the video that was critical of Macklemore, which "said things in words I didn’t write, and I wouldn’t have chosen all of them."
She maintained that "a repost isn't a statement," then wrote, "I’d rather be disagreed with for what I actually said than hated for what anybody else wrote, so let me say it."

"I was born a Jew," she continued. "I didn’t pick it, and I’ve never hidden it. And this week a whole lot of people decided what I believe without asking me, without checking a single thing I’ve ever said or done, because a repost and the word 'Jew' were apparently enough to fill in the rest. But let me fill it in... myself."
"Of course I don’t speak for Israel, or for any government. I never have. What I said in October 2023 is still exactly what I believe: Hamas is a terrorist organization. Palestinians deserve a future that honors their humanity and their aspirations. Protecting innocent life comes first, everywhere, and nobody should ever celebrate the death of a child. Anybody’s child."
JERRY SEINFELD GIVES BLUNT THREE-WORD RESPONSE TO INFLUENCER ASKING FOR A 'FREE PALESTINE'
She detailed the work she's done with UNICEF over the years, spending time with children "on both sides of that fence," and said, "I’m not going to litigate a complex war in an Instagram caption, and I’m not going to recite anybody’s slogan to earn back a follower."
Pink went on to explain that what she was "reacting to" was Macklemore himself. She recalled him performing his song "Same Love" at the Grammys in 2014, and how she cheered on the message, but "Four months later Macklemore put on a hooked nose, a black beard and a bowl cut, performed in it, and called it a 'random costume.'"
"Every Jew I know knew exactly what it was. The same love, it turned out, had a guest list, and we weren’t on it. But he apologized, and I let it go, because that’s what we do. We let it go. Then last weekend he stood in front of a stadium full of music-loving families, with violent images from a war on the screens, dedicated a song to the movement of his choice, and then took the mic to tell all of the Jews in the stadium that it wasn’t about them."
She added, "You don’t get to decide that for us."
PUT YOUR ENTERTAINMENT KNOWLEDGE TO THE TEST AND SEE HOW YOU SCORE
"That’s what prompted my repost," she wrote. "Not 'Free Palestine,' and not anyone’s right to say it. I have never asked for another artist to be silenced and I’m not asking now. I don’t need anyone fired, and I don’t need a refund. What I need is to be able to say, as a Jewish mom, 'that scared me, and it scared people I love,' without being told our fear is just propaganda, and without being told I’m somehow cool with genocide because I noticed?"
Pink wrote that she's always stood up for her beliefs, even when she is criticized for it, citing her own protest song, "Dear Mr. President," which she wrote in 2006 in response to the Iraq War.
"I have stood up for other people’s people my whole career, and I know exactly what it costs," she said. "And now I’m standing up for my own people, and I thought I knew going in how lonely that would be. And it’s lonelier than that. But I’m doing it anyway."
"Something has changed in this country, and I can read it in my own comments. 'From the river to the sea.' 'Zionist,' spat like it’s a slur, by people who couldn’t tell you the details of what I believe, because I hadn’t told them yet. I wasn’t asked. I was told. I don’t think most of them hate Jews. I think somebody handed them a story where the Jew who won’t apologize for existing must be the villain, and they’ve been putting words in my mouth ever since."
She said that while she can take being portrayed as a villain, "I just won't take it quietly, and I'm not going to teach my kids to."

Pink added, "So, to the ones who are furious with me: you don’t have to agree with me. You never did. That’s been our unspoken agreement for twenty-five years, and it still stands, and so do I. You don’t have to agree with one thing Israel’s government does to not want the Jewish family two rows down from you to be scared or targeted at a concert. That’s the only thing I’m asking anybody for. To the ones who are frightened this week, Jewish or Muslim or Palestinian or Israeli or just tired of all of it: I see you. And if anybody wants to really know what I think, just ask me. I’m right here. I’ve never been hard to find. And I’ll keep speaking out, in my own words."
She ended her post by acknowledging the anniversary of 9/11, as well as Rosh Hashanah, saying, "Now I’m going to go make dinner for my kids, light the candles, dip some apples in honey, pour a glass of wine and be full of gratitude. That’s my tradition. It also happens to be a Jewish one. Shana tova."
Following the original wave of backlash against his performance, Macklemore shared a video to Instagram of himself speaking onstage, explaining that one of the reasons he chose to tour with Sheeran was to be able to say "Free Palestine" in front of a large audience.
"Wanting all humans to be treated equal should never be controversial," he wrote in his caption.
As Americans are crushed by affordability, mayors push cash handouts as the answer in growing trend
A spokesperson for the Economic Securities Project (ESP), an organization that led the creation of more than 100 guaranteed income programs, told Fox News Digital that affordability is creating the "need to bring cash to communities even more urgent."
"Further, the destruction of the social safety net paired with skyrocketing costs of healthcare and food have made the need to bring cash to communities even more urgent," ESP's director of cash initiatives, Shafeka Hashash, told Fox News Digital.
"Amid the affordability crisis, we have a responsibility to share what we know about cash: that it provides stability, supports economic mobility and helps families move toward a more economically secure future," she added.
As Americans are struggling with rising housing, food and energy costs, both parties are trying to convince voters they have the answer to the affordability crisis ahead of the high-stakes midterm elections. The past holiday weekend was emblematic of ongoing concern over affordability. The AAA estimated that nearly 40 million Americans would pay unprecedented prices for gasoline, making it the most expensive Labor Day holiday at the pump on record.
Meanwhile, the ESP has been pushing for guaranteed income long before affordability became a salient issue. Founded in 2016, ESP launched with more than "100 entrepreneurs, activists, researchers, and philanthropists" advocating for direct cash payments.
Hashash’s comments came after ESP released a report published Aug. 12 and titled "Right on Time: How Cash Helps Families Move Through Life’s Transitions," making the case for institutionalizing "no-strings-attached" cash assistance.
The push comes as city leaders across the nation face a financial cliff. Dozens of municipal mayors are scrambling to maintain local cash-handout experiments as the federal pandemic aid that funded them nears its final spending deadline.
CHICAGO SUBURB EXPANDS CASH HANDOUTS AS RACE-BASED REPARATIONS PROGRAM FACES MAJOR LEGAL BATTLE
The report's authors build their case by citing "a wealth of data collected from over 250 cash and guaranteed-income pilots across 40 states and the District of Columbia," claiming the findings prove that direct cash transfers are a "legitimate policy tool."
However, rather than pushing immediate, universal cash handouts nationwide, the authors suggest a tactical shift of tying direct payments to specific life events. Cash assistance works best during periods of personal or financial hardship, they argued, writing that "cash does its strongest work in moments of transition."
The report highlights life events such as having a child, housing relocation or post-incarceration reentry.
Hashash told Fox News Digital that the "‘cash for transitions’ memo was not inspired by the lack of federal funding."
"It is a reflection of our learnings and observations from more than 250 pilots across 40 states over the past decade. We examined the data and found cash has its greatest impact in moments of transition. These findings are increasingly urgent and resonant across the field as our society collectively grapples with how to approach mass transitions in the face of an increasingly AI-powered economy," she explained.
The report pointed to the COVID-19 pandemic as a prime model, calling direct government checks an example of "large-scale transfers" that reached "households at speed and scale."
ALBUQUERQUE USES WEED TAX TO FUND 'NO-STRINGS-ATTACHED' GUARANTEED INCOME, SPARKING POLICY DEBATE
Advocates and mayors are hoping to transform pandemic-era cash assistance programs into permanent government policy now that federal COVID-19 relief funds are expiring.
Under federal law, local governments had until Dec. 31, 2024, to legally obligate their American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds, and most obligated funds must be fully spent by Dec. 31, 2026.
The broader campaign for direct payments includes Mayors for a Guaranteed Income, led by former Stockton, California, Mayor Michael Tubbs. Tubbs, who launched one of the nation's early municipal cash experiments, has long argued that federal tax dollars should fund income supplements to help lower-income Americans keep up with rising inflation, rent and groceries, claiming it's a viable policy to tackle affordability.
In the Chicago suburb of Evanston, Illinois, municipal officials recently announced an expansion of the city's guaranteed income program using the remainder of previously allocated ARPA funds before the spending clock runs out.
Evanston is one of more than 100 U.S. municipalities that have launched universal basic income-style pilots since 2018. While many early experiments relied on a blend of private philanthropic dollars and emergency federal stimulus, those coffers are rapidly hitting zero. The looming shortfalls are driving local officials to find alternative avenues to make cash handouts permanent, mirroring recent tax-funded budget maneuvers in neighboring Cook County, Illinois.
State affiliates are already moving forward. Economic Security California, an ESP arm, is laying groundwork for state-funded guaranteed income programs. California leads the country in pilot programs, hosting more than 60 cash initiatives to date. To sustain these efforts, ESP recommends that local and state governments look beyond donor funding and establish dedicated revenue streams from local taxes.
"We can say, however, that there’s an active and growing movement for cash in hundreds of communities across the country," Hashash said.
She added: "We regularly take calls from some of the 1,500 members of the Guaranteed Income Community of Practice – researchers, nonprofits, local government officials, and community leaders all interested in bringing cash to their neighborhoods. We just can’t announce any pilots or policies before the localities do."
Henry Winkler's wife says the actor tends to exaggerate about the size of his ... fish
Henry Winkler has been married to his wife, Stacey, for nearly five decades, so at this point, she knows him pretty well.
Including, apparently, when he's exaggerating about the size of his... fish.
The "Happy Days" star and his wife joined Graham Bensinger for an interview recently, where the couple talked about their marriage, how they met and the one activity that somehow transforms Winkler from one of the nicest guys in Hollywood into a fiercely competitive rule-breaker.
Fly-fishing.

According to Stacey, her husband might also be padding the stats a little bit.
"You have alleged before that he pads his numbers," Bensinger said.
Winkler immediately looked offended.
"Wait a minute. Really?" he asked.
Stacey didn't back down.
"I write down in my book exactly," Winkler protested. "I don't round off. That I do only in charity."
That set his wife up perfectly.
"The biggest charity is your fish size," Stacey fired back. "You are about your fish size the way other people are about… other sizes."
Ouch.
After 48 years of marriage, Winkler seemed stunned to learn that his own wife apparently doesn't trust his measurements.
"I have just learned something I've never known," he said. "I don't pad my numbers, but my wife believes I pad my numbers. Shocking. I'm shocked. I'm hurt."
Who among us hasn't exaggerated a little after a fishing trip?
But the (alleged) fish inflation isn't even their biggest problem on the water.
The couple used to fish together, but that arrangement apparently became unsustainable because Henry — otherwise known for being an exceptionally pleasant human being — becomes an entirely different person once there's a trout involved.
He explained that they once had clearly defined territory while sharing a boat. Stacey got the water from the front of the boat back to the oars. Henry got everything behind the oars.
Simple enough.
Except Henry didn't particularly care for that arrangement whenever Stacey's side looked more promising.
"I'm here to catch a fish," he explained. "And sometimes her water on the other side of the oar looks really fishy."
So his fly would occasionally "wind up" in Stacey's section.
"Not wind up," she argued. "Slap into my water."
TYLER HUBBARD STAYS CALM AS WIFE PULLS FISH HOOK FROM HIS SCALP ON FAMILY CAMPING VACATION
Winkler insists he's simply following the fish. Stacey says her normally reasonable husband suddenly loses all regard for rules, boundaries and marital harmony the moment he picks up a fly rod.
"There was just no way because he's too crazy," she said of fishing together. "He is this reasonable man who turns into a 7-year-old."
In fact, the couple said their first fly-fishing experience together generated more arguments than all their previous years of marriage combined.
"She just didn't understand," Henry explained.
Stacey was unimpressed.
"So then what I would do would be to not catch fish to make you feel better?" she asked.
"That would have been so thoughtful," he deadpanned.
Eventually, the Winklers found the secret to a happy fishing marriage: Don't fish together. Now they take separate boats, separate guides and even fish different parts of the river.
Problem solved! Well, mostly.
Because Stacey still has one surefire way to get under her husband's skin.
When she catches a big fish, she sends him a photo.
"He gets irritated," she said.
"I do not get irritated," Winkler insisted.
He just desperately wants to know how she keeps doing it.
"I really think that there is something about female pheromones that attract the fish," he joked, marveling at how quickly his wife seems to hook monsters.
He even floated another possibility: "Unless on the boat she can Photoshop."
Stacey, meanwhile, says fly-fishing is one of the only areas of her husband's life where the famously nice, mild-mannered actor gets genuinely reckless.
"If you are fishing somewhere in your area and Henry thinks he sees some bubbles or whatever, he's going there," she said. "So, there is nothing sacred."
Maybe not.
SIGN UP FOR THE DAILY OUTKICK NEWSLETTER
But after 48 years together, the Winklers have clearly figured out the important stuff.
Separate boats. Separate fishing territory.
And never, ever trust your husband's estimate of how many inches that fish actually was.

Ohio man convicted after trying to shoot ex-wife at point-blank range inside restaurant in chilling video
An Ohio man has been convicted of the attempted murder of his ex-wife, whom he tried to shoot last year while she was dining with her family at a restaurant in Toledo, a harrowing incident caught on chilling surveillance video.
On April 11, 2025, Matthew Exton, a 43-year-old former attorney, was having a drink at Souk restaurant when he spotted his ex-wife, Kada Malone, dining with her parents at the nearby Italian restaurant Sabira, according to the Lucas County Prosecutor's Office.
He entered Sabira, ordered a drink for Malone's table, spat in their direction and walked out.
Security footage from the restaurant then shows Exton returning with a handgun before thrusting it to within point-blank range of Malone's head and pulling the trigger as she reacted, putting her hands up in front of her face.
The gun failed to fire.
LAS VEGAS MAN KILLS EX-WIFE AND HER HUSBAND IN GROCERY STORE AMID CHILD 'CUSTODY ISSUES': POLICE
Prosecutors said the gun did fire because the safety was still on. A waiter tackled Exton from behind before he could try to shoot Malone again.
Authorities noted that there was a round in the chamber and seven more bullets in the magazine.
"The defendant did not come with the intention of having a meal. He came with anger in him and with the intention to commit a public execution of his ex-wife at the restaurant that day," Lucas County Prosecuting Attorney Julia R. Bates said in a statement. "The employees and patrons who stepped in to stop the defendant that day are heroes."
Bates also thanked the jury, which found Exton guilty on Sept. 4 of attempted murder, two counts of felonious assault and two firearm specifications attached to all three counts.
SPECIAL FORCES VET ACCUSED OF TRYING TO KILL WIFE FOUND DEAD, ENDING MASSIVE TENNESSEE MANHUNT
The two counts of felonious assault applied to Malone's parents, Jeannie Malone and Charles Malone.
The day the jury handed down their guilty verdict, Exton had an outburst in the courtroom and had to be removed.
During the prosecutor's closing arguments, they pointed to a voicemail Exton left for Malone prior to the attempted shooting that referenced the Johnny Cash lyric "Sooner or later God will cut you down," WTOL 11 reported.
Prosecutors said the message was an instance of threatening behavior that spoke to Exton's motive and state of mind ahead of the crime.
Exton, who appeared to take issue with the prosecutor's framing of the voicemail, then began screaming the lyrics to "God's Gonna Cut You Down" as court officers removed him. At another point, he made a gun-like gesture with his fingers and pointed it at assistant Lucas County Prosecutor Rose Mock.
The jury was instructed by the judge to disregard Exton's conduct and not let it impact their deliberations.
Exton, a former lawyer and local prosecutor, is scheduled to be sentenced on Sept. 21, 2026.
Art Garfunkel joins growing list of celebrities considering a move abroad over Trump presidency
Musician Art Garfunkel has joined the growing list of celebrities considering leaving the United States in response to President Donald Trump’s administration and policies.
In an interview with The Guardian, Garfunkel, 84, told the British publication he is concerned about the country’s stance on key issues and is considering moving elsewhere.
"I don’t like America’s position at all," he told the outlet. "I’m not aboard, and I’m thinking of leaving the country, frankly."
Garfunkel expressed concern about climate change, international affairs and other political issues.
"It’s real that the planet is getting warmer, that the water’s rising, that so many people are starving," Garfunkel said in the piece that originally ran Sept. 4.

He also criticized Trump’s decision to launch a military operation that resulted in the capture of then-Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, who is facing a slew of federal charges while currently being held at the Metropolitan Detention Center (MDC) in Brooklyn, New York.
"When Donald Trump took over Venezuela, are those the new rules? Just take over a country and run it?" Garfunkel said.

"It’s shocking, and you think, ‘How on earth are we gonna change the presidency?’ But Trump won’t last forever, so we’ve got to hope," he added.
The New York City-born musician is among the latest American celebrities to consider moving abroad or to have relocated while criticizing Trump’s presidency.
Notably, comedian Rosie O’Donnell moved to Ireland after Trump’s 2024 election victory, while director James Cameron has long planned a permanent move to New Zealand and criticized Trump as his New Zealand citizenship approached. Former daytime talk show host Ellen DeGeneres has said Trump’s election prompted her and wife Portia de Rossi to make their stay in the United Kingdom permanent.
"We got here the day before the election and woke up to lots of texts from our friends with crying emojis, and I was like, 'He got in,'" DeGeneres told broadcaster Richard Bacon, according to the BBC in 2025. "And we're like, 'We're staying here.'"
In August, O’Donnell returned to the United States for a weeklong guest-hosting stint on "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" The 64-year-old comic then turned her attention to her new residency in Ireland. On the Aug. 17 show, she referred to Trump as "Mango Mussolini."
"I read that Project 2025 and said, ‘Got to get myself out of here, you know,’ and I decided to go to Ireland, a place where people are driven to drink regardless of who's running their country," O’Donnell said.

The celebrity relocations and threats to leave the country have drawn the attention of Democratic strategist Kaivan Shroff.
"Celebrity threats to leave the country are usually pretty easy to roll your eyes at," Shroff told Fox News Digital. "Most never actually do — Rosie O’Donnell aside. But Garfunkel is 84 years old and has spent more than six decades as one of the most recognizable figures in American music, so this doesn’t exactly read like somebody trying to launch a political brand."

"What’s interesting is the level of alienation he’s expressing," he continued. "He’s looking at the country he has lived in his entire life and saying, essentially, ‘I don’t recognize our role in the world anymore.’"
Shroff told Fox News Digital that he believes Garfunkel's comments about moving abroad are more of a political statement than a commitment to leave the country.

"The line about leaving America is obviously going to get the attention, but I don’t think that’s really what Garfunkel is saying here," Shroff said. "He sounds genuinely disturbed by where he thinks the country is headed, particularly by the idea that the United States can simply decide the old rules no longer apply. People can disagree with his politics, but that kind of unease is hardly unique to Art Garfunkel."
