California fricks the country again

IRWINDALE, CA – One man’s hot sauce is another man’s hell. The city of Irwindale, California has filed a lawsuit asking for Huy Fong Foods to cease production of its iconic Sriracha sauce after residents complained that smells emanating from the factory have caused them physical harm and driven them from their homes.

I actually meant for the fermentation process. But, good to know.

Has nothing to do with the factory. They are having a pepper shortage because they have shite relationships with growers. No peppers = no sauce.

My daughter was in Houston for a concert last weekend, and brought back a bottle from an Asian market there. Happy to have a fresh bottle now. But I will echo what others have said, the Tabasco version is really good. Might be their best product, alongside the Chipotle sauce.

ETA the Tabasco Sweet & Spicy sauce is really good as well.

Some experts say that Huy Fong’s shortage is partially a consequence of climate change

Dude, I’m not one to lead the climate change charge but are you fricking serious?

You point to a falling out from SIX YEARS ago as your smoking gun of proof of having little to do with recent events, even though the problem emerged last year, was reported to little fanfare, and only now inventory is squeezed?

Come on man, have some intellectual integrity.

Tabasco sriracha is a reasonable substitute but not nearly as good

It just has that Tabasco aftertaste

Read the whole story linked, you lazy frick you.

The article goes on to make a strong argument for faulty supplier relationships as the biggest cause.

Just move the plant to Houston. If anyone complains about the smell they’ll be told to pound sand, it’s probably better than the usual smells.
