Ahead of Super Bowl LX, PETA has drafted its picks for the game day hotspots serving up the nation’s best vegan wings—and Houston’s own Korny Vibes is a winner.The vegan restaurant’s popular Drumstick Wyngs come with a side of creamy vegan ranch and can be served “naked” or drenched in buffalo, BBQ, or Mango Habanero sauce.

“Korny Vibes is dishing up touchdown-worthy gameday nosh with its delicious Drumstick Wyngs, which are as finger-licking good as they are kind to chickens,” says PETA President Tracy Reiman. “Every winner on PETA’s list shows that doing right by animals and your arteries ain’t no thing but a vegan wing.”

Chickens form complex social structures, dream when they sleep, and worry about the future, just as humans do. Yet every year, hundreds of millions of chickens are killed for Super Bowl Sunday alone. At slaughterhouses, mechanized blades slit their throats—often while they’re still conscious—and many are scalded to death in de-feathering tanks. PETA’s free vegan starter kit—and guide to the best heat-and-eat vegan wings available at grocery stores—can help anyone thinking of making the switch.

Korny Vibes will receive a framed award certificate from PETA, along with bragging rights. Other winners on PETA’s list include Strong Hearts in Syracuse, NY; Triangle Tavern in Philadelphia; Fifth House in Omaha; Watercourse Foods in Denver; Karelyn’s Vegan in Orlando; Detroit Street Filling Station in Ann Arbor, MI; Piper Down Pub in Salt Lake City; Life on Mars in Seattle, and Radical Rabbit in Nashville.

Korny Vibes is located at 403 Westheimer Rd. in Houston, and is open from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Monday, 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Tuesday through Thursday, 11 a.m. to midnight on Friday and Saturday, and 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. on Sunday.

PETA—whose motto reads, in part, that “animals are not ours to eat”—points out that Every Animal Is Someone and offers free Empathy Kits for people who need a lesson in kindness. For more information, please visit PETA.org or follow PETA on X, Facebook, or Instagram.
