We pay homage to many delicious things in Los Angeles: fried chicken, food trucks and tacos—to name a few. That’s why it only seemed fitting for Randy Clemens, author of The Sriracha Cookbook, and Joshua Lurie of Food GPS to turn up the heat for the revered hot sauce for the second year in a row. Hungry foodies spent Sunday afternoon in Chinatown’s Central Plaza grazing on bites from some of L.A.’s best chefs and restaurants, in addition to local brews and cocktails. Spicy selections ranged from Eggslut’s spicy tan tan ramen to Creme Caramel L.A.’s “Holy Petit S’mores.”
Sriracha is about as hot as LA, so it make sense it’s also what makes LA a happening city that never loses its sizzle.
Here are some highlights:
“Good and Proper Grilled Cheese” with bacon, sriracha, egg and tomato-sriracha soup dip from Greenspan’s Grilled Cheese. We could eat these all day.“Holy Petit S’mores” with Sriracha marshmallow on a fudgy dark chocolate brownie, dipped in white chocolate rolled in Graham cracker, topped with sriracha honeycomb dust from Creme Caramel L.A.Sriracha marinated chimichurri steak from Komodo.The perfect fall dessert with a kick: Red Bread’s Sriracha apple crumble pie.Chef Mei Lin’s Sriracha deviled eggs with chicken skin crumble and Sriracha caramel.
