Welcome to Texas.
Off to Texas!
From the other news stories I’ve read, yep, it’s Texas.
With one breath the city labels him a public nuisance and in the next they call his threat of leaving extreme. You’d think they’d be happy that he’s leaving. Liberals are never happy unless everyone is miserable.
Very costly solutions no doubt.
Gee, I wonder if they’re going to miss those wonderful California taxes.
I’m as big a fire eater as you’re likely to find, but there’s an odd background sweetness I find somewhat off putting (their ground chilies are much more my thing).
Still, how America has embraced this once alien cuisine makes me proud of how we assimilate and are open to reasonable, positive change, and no where is this more clearly illustrated than in our foods.
“Irwindale City Attorney Fred Galante, along with Irwindale officials, feel that all they are asking for is an action plan, the Times notes, and they claim that Tran is being intransigent in not providing one to this date. Galante said of Tran’s threat to move: “This seems very extreme. It’s disappointing giving that [air quality officials] have explained that there are readily available solutions.””
i.e., We don’t get a kickback if we can’t steer Siracha to the one company we’ve certified to install air filters and stuff.
He’s right to move. Once those sorts, council people of any community level their sights on a business for any reason, they never stop. Have vast experience with that.
If he’s going to move he might as well get out of California. Too much regulation, and too many taxes.
We’d love to have you in Tulsa! Texas is getting too crowded.
Texas will open arms for them
I knew an old timer who walked the streets of Boston with a large bottle of the stuff.
He put it on EVERYTHING.
totally addictive . pretty soon you are putting it on cheerios and pretty much anything else
Serves California right. If he wants to be close to the chiles, well, there’s no shortage in New Mexico.
Why would Irwindale, California want what they term to be an intransigent, extreme public nuisance to remain within their fair city? Seems like a win-win to me, Mr. Tran. Leave.
Paso Robles in San Luis Obispo County would welcome you, and you wouldn’t even have to abandon your pepper suppliers in Ventura County. Not all of California is nutty, dictatorial and anti-business. Not yet, at least.
And then there’s Louisiana, Texas and numerous other states that would welcome you with open arms. You don’t have to just sit there and take it, despite the fact that the city council of Irwindale seems to believe that you do.
We would love to have them here in Georgia... nothing like a good hot sauce to make life tasty
I grew up with Tabasco on the table. I also like Sriracha Hot Sauce. Both are very low in sodium content compared to many other hot sauces. I like all flavors and heat of hot sauces. I put them on everything. And when I say I put hot sauce on everything, I mean everything, including meats, salads, vegetables, rice, beans, cottage cheese and anything else I put in my mouth. I’ve even sprinkled some on bananas, popcorn and ice cream. I don’t like bland food and most food tastes better to me with some fire on it.
Hot sauce aficionados are not shy about using hot sauces on their food.
There’s lots of wide open space in Florida where odeur doesn’t matter. Also, peppers grow great here and it’s easy to get some really great peppers from Jamaica, etc.
Florida wants Srirachi!
It sure is (addictive). I had my first taste of Thai food in 1991, and I have been a Sriracha junkie ever since.
I have a bottle in the fridge and a reserve in the pantry
