Sriracha Plant's Tour Offers Whiff of Excitement
San Jose Mercury News ^

A Southern California hot sauce plant that came under fire for its spicy odors is throwing open its doors to the public, offering a whiff of excitement and perhaps a breath of fresh air in its relations with its neighbors.

As many as 3,000 people are expected to visit the factory that makes Sriracha hot sauce over the weekend in this eastern Los Angeles suburb. The factory is holding its first open houses to kick off the chili harvest season.

During a 20-minute walk through the 650,000-square-foot facility, visitors can watch chili grinding; sample Sriracha-flavored ice cream, popcorn and chocolate caramels; visit the new gift shop; and take photos with a cardboard cutout of David Tran, CEO of plant owner Huy Fong Foods.

Nice to see a guy who immigrated to the country and made something of himself, not sucking off the system.

My kids love the stuff and there’s always a bottle in the fridge. But I’ve never tried it...stomach is not taking kindly to spicy stuff in my 60s, unfortunately.

We have put it on nearly everything. I swear it would make an old boot palatable.

Love it on eggs. I throw some shredded sharp cheddar and sliced deli ham in there. Dash or two of hot sauce. ... Now I’m hungry.

Has anyone tried Sambal Oelek? It can be found beside or near Sriaracha and is in a clear plastic jar with a green lid. It is crushed chili’s with garlic and is AMAZING on everything.
