Fresh off the Paris Fashion Week runway, football star and now-model Joe Burrow is finally setting the record straight on if he prefers Louisiana or Ohio. 

The Cincinnati Bengals quarterback and former LSU star recently sat down with Complex Sports for a game called "Here or There," where Burrow had to pick his favorite state when related to topics like food, nature, nightlife, music and sports. 

Burrow, who played for Ohio State before transferring to LSU and later winning the Heisman, didn't hesitate when picking the winner in each round. 

Here's the recap. 

Food: Louisiana 

  • "Fried food is just better," Burrow said, adding that he gained 15 pounds his first summer in the Pelican State. 

Nature: Ohio

  • Burrow loves the hilly landscape and variety of trees in Ohio and said the swamps in Louisiana could be boring scenery after so long.

Nightlife: Ohio (sort of)

  • Burrow was a second string QB at Ohio State and said he didn't have time to go out when he lived in Baton Rouge. New Orleans would like a word, Joe.

Music: Louisiana

  • Burrow didn't elaborate but did say he loves Boosie and Youngboy.

Fashion: Louisiana

  • Burrow praised the street style commonly seen here. 

Weather: Ohio

  • Burrow likes clothes, and enjoys the seasons in Ohio so he can wear different styles and layers. 

Sports culture: Tie

  • Burrow said that the Saints and LSU Tigers have massive fan bases, but there are more diverse sports teams to cheer for in Ohio.
