Will they be shut down before the season ends? Say it ain't so. See www.takepart.com - ahh, life in the burbs...

I saw some previous posts about this - I'm sure someone will make it right. On a positive note, Costco is stalking a pretty good fake version of Sriracha - and its organic if you care. I will be going back to the original shortly.

The Huy Fong "Rooster" sriracha sauce isn't the original by any stretch; it's just the most ubiquitous brand in North America, probably by virtue of being made in California.

According to en.wikipedia.org sriracha originated in the town of Si Racha, Thailand. I quite prefer the Thai brand of sriracha shown here ($4.99 at BestPrice Oriental Market in Kanata) over the Rooster brand! :-)

There will be more ... LAT reports. Can't post the link because of some funky syntax. Judge rules they can stay open and process this years crop. Doesn't sound like there was much of an odour issue, however the founder says:
"If it doesn't smell, we can't sell"

You can get a locally made Sriracha sauce made right here in town at Richard's Hintonburg Kitchen . It's pretty damn awesome. Tell him I sent you.

I know there has been mention of having something to identify Ottawa Foodies members (pins were mentioned)....perhaps a t-shirt with Rizak's pic on the front saying "Rizak sent me"? haha

I had made this up for another site, years ago. I suppose I could amend it slightly for use here ...

I'm linking to it because animated GIFs don't seem to work on this site.

Oh, feel free to use this one as well.
