Wait till they find out about Huy Fong Srirracha Sauce, although that’s not really American, the originator,
Thanom Chakkpak was from Thailand in the 1930’s,
the American version was created by David Tran, a Vietnamese refuguee who started Huy Fong Foods in LA in 1980. His version is thicker, and made with jalapenos, garlic, sugar and vinegar.
