..it IS the bomb.I’ve seriously never heard of this condiment until the story about Texas courting the California company a couple weeks ago.
Now I hear about it everywhere.
They didn’t copyright the name “Sriracha”?
Watch another company do it
What keeps me away from the original Sriracha is (a) the preservatives and (b) the plastic bottle. I prefer real ingredients in a glass bottle.
It appears that Tabasco has copied the plastic bottle. I can’t find anything about the ingredients except that it has the “highest quality ingredients”.
For a slightly sweet but hot chile sauce, I like Trader Joe’s Chile Sauce (though I don’t care for their jalapeno or habanero versions — to vinegary).
..it IS the bomb.I pass by this factory every day after work. It was heartbreaking to effectively see that parking lot utterly empty for weeks due to California’s requirement that non-pasteurized food goods must sit for 30 days before being distributed (like anything could possibly live in those bottles...)
Never smelled an odor, but considering which families were making the complaints (two of them), seemed much more a shakedown than anything else.
As for Tobassco jumping into the cockfight, sure, go for it. I’m sure they’ll blow tons of money on advertising for it.
The Sriracha guy named his company Huy Fong foods simply because that was the name of the boat his group used to escape Vietnam.
I’m serious.
He used to manually spoon in the paste to each bottle, and at first he had just that one spoon.
He personally made all the deliveries in the L.A. area is his personal vehicle, a van.
I like Huy Fong.
Because now it’s flavored with...
The tears of the scumbags that try to shake down the owner.
Bah! REAL men eat Ghost peppers!
Tabasco should stick with what they do best... Tabasco sauce. There is NO substitute for Huy Fong Foods Siracha sauce. Hot sauces are all different and different flavors compliment different foods. Vietnamese sub sandwiches (Banh Mi) and pad thai require Siracha as the final touch. However, I still prefer Tabasco on my eggs and hash browns.
