As I said on a previous thread on this subject, move it to Texas City. No one will notice the difference.

How does Sriracha compare to red Tabasco sauce, my favorite on eggs?

The odor blends in well with the smell of BBQ pits and taco joints.

It’s different
.a distinctive flavor more than just hot. Some like it more, some less, than Tobasco or Texas Pete - but if you like Tobasco, you’ll probably at least like Sirarcha.

Don’t park your car down there for very long. It will peel the paint right off. LOL!

I wonder what the impact of a move would be with regard to the peppers they use.
Being close to a source maybe a deciding factor for them.

Tabasco is a traditional Louisiana-style Hot Sauce that has a thin consistency and is made with Tabasco peppers, salt, and vinegar. It is in the mildly hot category.
Sriracha has its origins in SE Asia, has the consistency of ketchup, is made with different peppers and is a bit hotter. The Flavor and aroma are different too.
I love ‘em BOTH! But not at the same time.
Tabasco for eggs, Sriracha for chicken.

Much thicker (almost a paste), less vinegar-y. Closer to Mexican hot sauce but less cumin notes. If you ever got the hot sauce from Panda Express it is very close to that.

I am from L.A. and keep up with the local news there (listen to Internet radio, read the local papers and news outlets).
From the last I heard, 2 people complained about the odor and that was enough to cause the Irwindale CC to all but say “get lost.”
So 2 NIMBYs and a handful of idiots are sending 200+ jobs and millions of dollars in revenue and economy East.
Typical arrogant California.

OK, sounds like Tabasco still the best for eggs. Love that aging process they use.

You may not watch 60 minutes but 4-6 weeks ago they did a report on the family which owns and started Tabasco. Macillheny (spelling? is on the bottle) Nice report and interesting. Maybe available on their web site.
Best wishes!

Thanks. I like your user ID - kind of describes me (with the help of Milton Friedman).

Texans understand that sometime jobs are a little messy and smelly, but the money is great. Dudes in California can work on their tans while waiting in line for the Government handout!

He is the foundation.
I left the party because I couldn’t accept position on religious fanatics in Iran getting the bomb and I oppose abortion and think innocent life should be protected by government.

My close relative was the PM, construction company project manager, for this factory.
He often gets put in charge of projects with difficult owners.
He had a lot of respect for David Tran who founded this company.
From what I can recall, Mr Tran fled Vietnam after the war with just the clothes on his back and started out making the sauce in his house.
He is just what you would expect from a self made man: No consultants, someone who took an in depth personal interest in every aspect of his business, only respected cash on the barrel head, very family oriented...
Knowing what I know about California, my guess is that this is some sort of shakedown by the powers that be and Mr. Tran is not coughing up.

Tabasco is still my favorite on eggs (or a spicy sandwich) but Sriracha is a great sauce on meats, mixed with sauces such as barbecue to spice them up, or used as part of hot and spicy marinades prior to cooking. Good stuff with a “more than just heat” flavor.
