Round 1, matchup 5, the heat fight. Korean Gochujang brings fermented depth that Moe genuinely loves on bulgogi and bibimbap. Nashville Hot brings cayenne, pickles, and a full body experience. This was not close, and Moe did not pretend it was. In his own words:

Nashville Hot by landslide. Give me some Hattie B's Nashville Hot chicken with that buttermilk marinade and cayenne pepper with a pile of pickles, and a lot of extra sauce on the side, and you're eating the culture of the south in every single bite.

I don't care if my face is melting, I'm covered in sweat, and have to drink a pint of ranch, I'm all over Nashville Hot.

Moe Train

I'm usually partial to anything Asian and love Bulgogi and Bibimbap with gochujang. The fermented taste is unique, bold and delicious. However, that Nashville hot is the truth!

I don't care if my face is melting, I'm covered in sweat, and have to drink a pint of ranch, I'm all over Nashville Hot. I'm picking Nashville Hot 90 out of 100 times, every time.

The verdict

Nashville Hot takes matchup 5 and moves on to Round 2 of the Moe Train Picks wing sauce bracket.
