Noticed this on a trip to Bangkok, thought it was interesting considering here in the US, Thai is typically considered much spicier than Nashville. I found it surprising a restaurant overseas would label the spiciest option as American style.
proper nashville hot chicken can blow your top off but is also one of the most delicious flavors iv ever tasted rather than just stupid-hot

They must’ve gone to a different Nashville or be from a different Thailand

Are we still bragging about not adding MSG?

Idk why people are surprised, the US has a massive industry about spicy food and sauces and people breed peppers for fun to be stupid spicy.

I’ve had both Nashville hot and Thai spicy chicken dishes that have made me cry…. They’re both hot AF when done right.

I LOVE spicy food and for a while I was big into trying the hottest stuff I could get my hands on. So anyway I get a new job based out of Nashville and get to spend a week there. We all go to lunch and the guys pick a place called Pepper Fire. Boss is like who wants to try their hottest and I say fuggit, lets give it a go. I take a bite of a strip and my lips go numb for 4 seconds and then it feels like I bit into hot steel. That was the hottest food I have ever eaten. They had this deep fried grilled cheese that was bomb too. Also had Hattie B’s and Princes hot chicken that same week. My stomach was toast.

All these flavours sound good tho.

Some of the spicy stuff coming out in America these days really is that spicy. I wouldn’t include Nashville style chicken as that kind of experimental spicy, though.

Nori &soy sound amazing

i mean, it was a nashville hot chicken place that made me throw up after a single bite of their hottest chicken, even when it was cushioned in a sandwich

My theory is that so many wing places have at one point made a wing so spicy, the only reason it exists is for people to show off. Im thinking it’s based on that being so common in america.

Well they can’t make it sound like the guy down the street has the same thing. It has to sound like it’s from far away.

It’s funny how places are still saying No MSG. We should long be past the point in believing that MSG is bad. It was nothing more than racism in thinking MSG was unhealthy.

Interesting catch phrase.

Could be a marketing tactic to get people to want to be better than Americans by saying they bested their hottest spicy chicken.

I miss the wings in Thailand!! So crispy, so juicy! Our lazy, fat chickens in the US are not the same.

So weird this Nashville hot trend just popped out of nowhere. Makes me curious where the money is ending up

“LEMON-ZESTY, PEPPER-SASSY” speaks to me and will be on my mind any time I use lemon and pepper.

It’s probably modified for Thai tastes, like American-Chinese food is toned down for people who can’t handle anything hotter than mild jalapenos. If you can’t handle spicy food, don’t burn your insides out on this.

Exotic sells, on this side the “Thai Spice” is the exotic, over there “American Nashville”.

To a Thai person Nashville is foreign/exotic. Foreign always seems spicier

Nashville hot sauce isn’t even that hot 🤣

I grew up in Louisiana and love spicy food. However Thai food can kick my ass. Next level spicy.
But I still love it..

Where is the Isaan spicy?

I’m not a well travelled man, but I watch a lot of travel shows and I’m always blown away by the proliferation of English. I would expect a restaurant menu in Thailand to be exclusively in Thai or perhaps Thai with an English translation.

NAH SCREW THAT NO MSG NONSENSE. MAKE SHIT GOOD.
Also it’s probably a thing of “it’s known for being spicy so we’re abusing the name for marketing”

There’s a Nashville hot chicken spot near me that has the spiciest chicken I’ve had in my life. They make you sign a waiver.

Have you ever had authentic Nashville hot? That’s shit is brutal. Just straight Cheyenne and oil.
