Sriracha has a multitude of uses. Here are a few funny ones.

The bottle can be a fun costume too.

Huy Fong foods facing a shutdown of the Siracha factory here locally. The smell is so offensive that it is forcing people indoors.

The Oatmeal has always been a pretty awesome supporter of the rooster sauce.

Love it on scrambled eggs.

The history is very interesting. The guy is an immigrant, started making it in a barrel on the street, and now has a gross income last year of $60 million and growing by 20% every year. No investors. All on his own.

For sure. Here's a fifteen year old story about the guy:

I hate the fact that I like Sriracha because hipsters like it

 

[96tbird]

Fear not, break free if that hipster crap and use this instead. Much better flavor, same taste profile.

Wait a second...hipsters can't co-opt something that's literally on every table in most every Asian restaurant.

However, pointing out a cool article:

This company is privately owned, doesn't have a website and doesn't have a Facebook page and is still incredibly popular.

They have a website now. You can even order a sampler pack.

We always have some in the fridge cause my gf puts it in everything. Personally i don't like hot food in general so i keep away from it. I do put it in lentil soup when i make it though and this thing can just kill it. I make a HUGE pot and i swear if you drop 5 drops too many in there, you ruined it.

Apparently they tried shutting down the Sriracha factory in LA but judge denied it.

By the way, sriracha is the name of this type of Thai hot sauce. [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] is the name of one particular company and they make sriracha and two other kinds of sauce. Other companies make sriracha also.

Where I live there are a large number of Thai, Vietnamese, Hmong, Lao, and Cambodian people. As a result, there are lots of Asian restaurants around here and you can find a fairly large variety of different types of sriracha on the tables. Huy Fong is the one I see most frequently by far. It's also my favorite. Some of the others are a bit hotter but they don't have as nice a flavor I think.

I love sriracha. A friend of mine hooked up an awesome burrito recently and busted out a bottle of green sauce from Indonesia called Cabe Rawit. The brand was Gaga. It was fantastic... slightly sweet, peppery, not overly hot. I need to get a bottle of my own.

Siracha shutdown is actually happening.
