"At this point pretty much any well-stocked home pantry for the heat-inclined includes Fly by Jing’s chili crisp and the brand’s roster of other Sichuan condiments. Now loyal fans are in luck because this fall founder Jing Gao will open Súa Kitchen & Superette in Los Angeles’ Larchmont Village. Gao and business partner Stephanie Liu Hjelmeseth want to offer Sichuan flavors in a convenient and fun space, hence the name 'Súa,' the Sichuan word meaning 'to play and have fun.' Súa will be a grab-and-go marketplace with pre-packaged meals like Sichuan shredded chicken salad, vegan mapo tofu, and cold sesame noodles; a coffee bar; and pantry items like vinegars and sauces sourced largely from AAPI producers." - ByKate Kassin
