tl;dr: sriracha is selling for ~$40-$70 a bottle due to a shortage of red jalapeño crops, caused by climate change (specifically, extremely hot, dry weather as well as landslide effects from various climate events in the previous years). huy fong says sriracha is resuming limited production but did not specify when this production began or how limited it was.
wonder how they’d be doing if they didn’t try to screw over underwood ranches, who are apparently not having much trouble sourcing the peppers at all
I’ve legit been enjoying “offbrand” sriracha’s way more anyway. My current go-to is https://fixhotsauce.com/
They are usually so much tastier. If you like something more spicy than the huy fong, this is my favorite

thanks for the recommendation (@dax@beehaw.org too), been looking for different brands to replace huy fong
Ohh, that looks good. Thank you my friend.
Haven’t seen that one around.
I did find the Tabasco brand one to be surprisingly good though.
I’ll have to give that a shot, the huy fong stuff has been my favorite forever. How does it compare?
A bit more liquid and a lot more garlic. It’s still distinctly a chili sauce, but the garlic is way more present imo
