Thought this was appropriate for a food thread. I love me some Sriracha.

Damn, the local municipal government of Irwindale, CA is trying to throw out the factory that produces Sriracha... Looks like other states are looking for the company to open up on their state...

The McCormick company has one of their factories in the business section of a upper middle class suburb of Baltimore County here in MD. When you drive by it, it's pretty strong but only if your within a few blocks of it.

There are no residential neighborhoods in the immediate area & the houses that are closest are houses that sell in & around a $1 mil.

Not sure the layout of where the Sriracha company in relation to residential neighborhoods but from face value, this seems like much ado about nothing. The town is also willing to kick out a business. Doesn't seem to make sense.


[COLOR=#red]This Congressman Has A Plan To Save Sriracha[/COLOR]

A California congressman says the manufacturer of Sriracha should relocate to his district rather than leaving the state altogether.

Huy Fong Foods, the maker of the popular hot sauce, was hit with a lawsuit last fall after residents near the Irwindale, Calif. factory complained of eye and throat irritation and headaches from the facility's chili pepper odor. In November, a Los Angeles judge ordered a "partial shutdown" of the factory on the grounds that the odor is "extremely annoying, irritating and offensive to the senses warranting consideration as a public nuisance." And in December, Huy Fong was ordered to hold its sauces for 30 days before shipping.

Last week, Irwindale's city council officially declared the factory a public nuisance and gave it 90 days to eliminate the offending odors. The decision has led the manufacturer to consider moving the factory.

"I have had the bad luck to move into a city with a government that acts like a local king," founder David Tran told the Los Angeles Times. "I don't want to sit here and wait to die."

Rep. Tony Cardenas (D-Calif.), who represents part of Southern California's San Fernando Valley, wrote to Huy Fong President William Tran on Wednesday to propose a way out of the company's legal troubles.

“By now, you may have been directly contacted by individual states to move your business there,” he wrote in the open letter. “But why move thousands of miles, when you can keep jobs in California, the state you founded your successful company in?”

According to The Hill, Cardenas said his office "can be helpful in facilitating conversations."

“If relocation is the only viable option, I ask that you consider moving your facility to the San Fernando Valley. The San Fernando Valley has plenty of manufacturing zones, especially in the 29th Congressional District," he wrote.

Cardenas later tweeted about his efforts:

1000


Cardenas may face stiff competition from some of his congressional colleagues.

Rep. Jason Villalba (R-Texas) has made repeated attempts to lure the hot sauce manufacturer to the Lone Star State. His efforts appeared to pay off this week when Villabla said he's been invited to set up a meeting with Tran "as soon as possible." And as the Los Angeles Times reports, officials from Alabama, Pennsylvania, Louisiana, Kansas, Ohio, Georgia, Iowa, Arizona, New Mexico and West Virginia have all courted Huy Fong.

How did Siracha get so popular? I always have a bottle in my house but it's not anything special. Andrew Zimmer put it on his most overrated food items list. I like this chili garlic sauce better.

Siracha is a staple for many people, how it can' be thought of as overrated is down right silly. I get it if you don't use it or prefer another condiment.

Zimmer is overrated himself... Making a living eating out of the ordinary stuff. Dude is the definition of cornball... How did the kid who proly ate glue & his boogeys in elementary school get famous? :rolleyes

Yea I like the Chili Garlic sauce better as well. Put it in some SPaghetti. My goodness!

Guero, I see you man! :smokin
 
Sriracha is great and has been a staple since forever. :pimp:

Don't let the recent rise in popularity ruin it for you.
 
Sriracha is beyond overrated. It's decent at best. I usually use it to mix it with my hoisin sauce.


Chili paste, chili oil with chili flakes >
 
Chill with the Siracha slander lol

I personally prefer chili oil all day every day. But I think Siracha is the most consistent and readily available condiment out. I dont  get  the overrated label.
