Few sauces have inspired such ardent devotion—and neighborhood controversy-- as Huy Fong Foods’ Sriracha.

Despite its Irwindale, California production plant almost getting the boot for its offensive smell, the Thai chili hot sauce is still a staple on dining tables around the country but parts of its production were shrouded in mystery—until now.

Hypebeast made a visit to the plant where Sriracha is made. David Tran, the CEO of Huy Fong Foods, explains how he started the business 35 years ago after fleeing Vietnam. The name of his company honors the boat that carried him to the U.S. with the same name. From a small store that hand packed sauces to a multi-million bottle a year operation, Huy Fong has grown well beyond the founder’s expectations.

The video contains lots of other spicy tidbits. Did you know that green tip bottle is a nod to the fresh green stem from the main chili pepper ingredient? Also, an entire crop of chilis used to make enough Sriracha for a full year is harvested all at once to keep quality consistent.

Check out the beautifully shot mini documentary below.

One would think such a reputable source of information could spell "revealed".

Sriracha is to SE Asian food, as ketchup is to American. A few different brands and recipes, all basically the same.

Nice upfront heat and tang, no choke back of the throat burn.... Try it mixed with a bit of mayo or mustard on your next burger, brat or sammich.....

Squirt it in some sour cream for a great potato chip dip.
