The Best Sriracha Substitutes to Survive the Sriracha Shortage | Eater

"The maker of the country’s most popular sriracha has faced recurring supply shortfalls over the past two years; this season the company told wholesale buyers that this year’s chile crop was “too green,” which affected the sauce’s bright red color, and it expects to resume production sometime after Labor Day. Drought in Mexico, where the chiles are grown, could worsen availability, and observers debate whether the root causes are climate-driven crop issues or internal mismanagement. The shortages have prompted many fans to seek alternate sauces while production is inconsistent." - Amy McCarthy
