The New York Times Discovers Sriracha

• the thought of Banh Mi sandwiches meeting up with the New York hero is almost too mouth-watering to contemplate... Both are based on french rolls (and New York french/italian bread is to die for and very hard to find here in OC)...

• Melissa: It happens!

• Vinegar more than Worcestershire, to be honest (my dad had it on everything, including sprouts, a bad habit that I still have!). But, like any proper Limey, I do have some W'ster in the pantry here, which is a great standby for livening up bad cooking! I also have Marmite, the love-it-or-hate-it toast topper, another Brit favorite!

• 1. "Edwin: You were suckled on Sriracha; I, Tapat� Lesley: were you fed Worcestershire as an infant?" Haha. Nice. 2. I am now utterly and entirely convinced people love to just jump all over you given any chance whatsoever, Gustavo. Which reminds me, I love Sriracha but didn't know about it until I was ohhh, probably 29? New York Jewish parents. Most of my life in Texas. *Shrug* 3. Hi Priscilla! *Waving* :D

• That Peter Hong Column One about Mr. Tran's biz is one of my favorite Column Ones evereverever, and that is saying something. Beeyootiful photo of red jalapenos accompanying, as I recall. Does the NYT piece owe more than a little to it, even 12 years hence, or is it just me? And all that and no mention of sushi-bar spicy tuna, clearly the jumping-off point for mainstream restaurant Sriracha applications.

• Peter: I remember that story! Thought it was cool that the <i>Times</i> knew about something so cool. Your byline is missed. Edwin: You were suckled on Sriracha; I, Tapat� Lesley: were you fed Worcestershire as an infant?

• Since it's obviously going to go there eventually: As an infant, I was suckled on a Sriracha bottle.

• I wrote a Column One in the LA Times about Mr. Tran in January...1997. Even before Giant Robot !!! Not bad for MSM, huh ?

• I remember Giant Robot magazine having a Sriracha article around ten years ago...

• Darryl: Gracias Anon: Huh?

• Well, you certainly are full of the win for knowing about Sriracha before one other person.

• Rooster sauce is good for the cock!

• That why I always read the Village Voice Media publications, especially when I travel to other places in the country. You folks have got a whole lot more incite on great restaurants, especially unexpensive ones, than they ever will. The bigger but ever shrinking daily publications focus on the "truly snooty" places which I'm not interested in. You folks cover the real deal.
