Could Sriracha see an untimely demise? (https://www.chiefsplanet.com/BB/showthread.php?t=278075)

I went through a sriracha phase. Since moving to texas there is a much wider variety of southwest/mexican hot sauce. I picked up a quart of some for $.77 good stuff, water, chiles, vinegar, salt. that is it

I like both, but Sriracha is probably better, IMO. Different. Cholula, Frank's, various Tabasco's are all excellent.

They are forced to close by the government.

They would be welcomed in Iowa. As previously noted, we have all sorts of smells and live with them just fine.

Judge Orders California Sriracha Factory to Halt Odor-Making Operations

http://cdn.cstatic.net/gridnailer/50...ha-Lawsuit.jpg

It might be a good idea to stockpile Sriracha, because a judge in California has ordered the Huy Fong Foods Sriracha hot sauce plant in Irwindale, CA to cease any operations that cause irritating odors following a lawsuit filed by the city. The LA Times reports that the judge ruled in favor of the city, writing that the odor appears to be "extremely annoying, irritating and offensive to the senses warranting consideration as a public nuisance." While he did write that the smells tormenting the citizens of Irwindale could be "reasonably inferred" to coming from the factory, the judge also added that there is a "lack of credible evidence" linking the various cited ailments like burning eyes and headaches to the odors.

Though the injunction orders the factory to "cease any kind of operations that could be causing the odors" and that it "make immediate changes that would help mitigate them," it does not force a complete closure of the factory, nor does it specify what exact changes need to be made. While some chefs have already begun preparing for a life without Sriracha, it seems that next year's supply might actually be unaffected by the ruling since the chilis for the year's batch have already been ground. The ruling will go into effect as soon as it is signed, but the case might still go to trial.

Fortunately, there are other sriracha options. The Trader Joe's one isn't bad.

Blame Subway for buying it all out...

This stuff can play into a wing sauce nicely - it's almost like that's what it's designed for. As an addition to your normal hot sauce, this stuff makes bomb ass wings.

Did anyone actually ready the article that FMB posted?

The last sentence states that it's unlikely 2014 supply will be affected, as the chili peppers have already been ground (the grinding process is what produces the strong odors)

I have friends though that were literally concerned about Sriracha not being available to them.

I knew you were being sarcastic, but I think some are literally pissed off. Just was making sure they knew that supply should be unaffected

They are stupid. It's like the number 2 condiment in the US. It will be available. If they had to make it on the moon, they would.
