I don't understand America's obsession with Sriracha. It's not that great.
I thought this fad would have died out by now.

It's the hipster of "hot" sauces.
Not that spicy, kinda sweet and despite what everyone says does not go with everything. Not even close.

I only like sriracha with pad thai. Goes well with noodles.
But yeah I agree it's probably the most overrated " sauce " these days.

Sriracha isn't owned by anyone. It's a traditional chile sauce. Huy Fong makes the well known green cap kind.Does this mean they're paying a big fat royalty to Sriracha
& sriracha has been around forever.
It's not going anywhere.
It's like ketchup. Lots of people make it.

I got a bottle of sriracha at the store yesterday, and it is extremely spicy. I'm going to have to use it in small doses to avoid setting my mouth on fire.

The original owner of the Sriracha sauce didn't trademark the name; that's why you see everyone and their grandmas using it.
I saw this on the menu at JitB a couple days ago and tried to order it, and nobody working there had any idea what it was or what I was trying to order. They ended up taking a regular burger, putting curly fries on it, and giving me that. No sriracha sauce, just a burger with curly fries on it. Clearly management is not very effective at messaging out the new menu item news to their employees.
Wat. It's mild at best.

Same, it's too sour for me. There's much better hot sauces.
However Potbelly's Sriracha Black Bean soup is godly and it's a shame they discontinued it.

I used to put it on everything, but last night I put it on some Ramen and found it too hot.

Sriracha is phenomenal with asian foods along with Sambal Oelek.
Cholula is my go to hot sauce for burritos, enchiladas and other typically mex/tex mex food.
Secret Aardvark if I want heat and flavor.
But yea, I agree Sriracha isn't some kind of miracle sauce. It really should be resigned to certain food imo.

Most definitely. Cholula is my favorite for that style. Above Tapatio, Valentina, etc, it's my favorite.
Though I did try Mezzetta's habanero one a while back and it wasn't too shabby:

I haven't tried that out, I'll look for it next time I'm at my grocery store thanks.

I'd give it a try, I love Jack in the Box. I'd go there before BK or MCD.
Ooo that one has Vault! One of the best drinks ever and my favorite energy drink. Wish they hadn't stopped production on that.

The burger looks good but I wouldn't want the tacos. Jack in the Box is closer than McD's, and I like their jalapeno bacon burritos.

I've never had vault. But I don't really like those machines because there's no Mtn Dew. I think pre-packaged soda tastes better than ones from a machine.

Sriracha has been a stable of many Asian restaurants and foods long before the modern "discovery of mass mdia/internet" to ever be a true fad. Been eating Vietnamese and Thai foods since the 90s and that was what usually was there and continues to be so til they stop making it.

This!
I don't get the fad. It's been around forever and I only use it for Pho. Some people I know thinks it's something new..
Sriracha ain't even that good. But it's everywhere. It's kinda like the Chipotle sauce craze a few years ago, where Chipotle sauce was everywhere.
