From Refugee To Sriracha Billionaire: The Man Behind One Of America’s Favorite Condiments | Forbes

Siracha is amazing story. I remember there was a shortage.

The real original sriracha made in sriracha town Thailand

Vietnam imitate thailand

love sriracha love the david tran ..
hate this video makes u think that its an interview of tran but NOO its some boring analyst talking talking talkinggg .....pathetic from forbes!

I’ve known about them since 5 years old and I’m 37 years old now!

David tran, screwed underwood ranches...he's not that humble.

Sambal Oelek is very underrated. It is an awesome hot sauce I would use with wonton, dumplings, and with proteins like chicken and seafood.

This guy's telling a dream of a story. Most of it is fake and doesn't follow the true reality.

Imagine that?! NO AFFIRMATIVE ACTION. NO REPARATIONS. NO HANDOUTS. NO EVEN SPEAKY ENGRISH! But he DID IT! Whats YOUR EXCUSE?!

Dude got greedy

I was wrong about this

Still shortages of this stuff copied off the og so I’m just gonna make it at home via lactofermentaion

Yes, but it’s authentic culture. It might not be made here but he first made it in his home in Vietnam. That’s where the recipe started.

The farmer that grew his peppers he threw under the bus ... and then went to Mexico to buy the peppers and now he is having problems getting enough of peppers... the farmer that grew his peppers now makes the same sauce it is way better.......

Now this is what I call a TRUE humble billionaire there
Or at least humble enough for a billionaire, unlike the man behind Walmart who uses a facade

when he die,
his son will sell it u watch

The comments about the lawsuit are heavily redacted in this article in David Tran’s favour. Forbes published a feel good article and skipped the dark side of the story. Half points for effort.

I thpught Cho chu jang is worldwide popularity..🌶🇰🇷🤣🤣😋😋😋😋😋😋

No...now there's non availble because of the pure greed of the company! there was never any shortage. They completely screwed over underwood and now they have no producers that can fulfill there orderes .....there was never a shortage this channel completely lies!

Everything You Know About Sriracha is a Lie.

It's 8/23/23 and I cant find Sriracha anywhere.. The alternatives suck , I need my Sriracha NOW !!!!!!!! Dammit

I love making my own. Ferment tanks and all! My kitchen is full of aroma.

He screwed himself with greed. I'll only buy Sriracha from Underwood now.

08.14-2023. The Sriracha, Huy Fong Chicken, show up again on Asian supermarket, but
I don't know if it's the same one, bought it, taste it, and it's different, a little more sour, and
not as hot as the original. Fan of this hot sauce please check it out.

David Tran is a great story..... however he is definitely in it for the money. Advertising is expensive so they don't use it. The reason they don't have chiles for their product is because they left Underwood Farms for cheaper peppers without notice and in violation of their contract. It cost them 23 million and of course Underwood Farms wouldn't sell them peppers anymore so they kind of F'd themselves.

There's Vietnamese-made siracha found in the Asian supermarket near my house and it is a lot better IMO. It is less thick, a bit more sour, less spicy, and satisfying. I have been using it since this Siracha is not in store due to lack of chilis. I like it more than this Siracha. Not sure what other people think though

Sriracha on fried rice 😘

I for the life of me can not eat this garbage
Nice success story though.

I am totally loyal to this iconic sauce. I have spent decent money on replacements. None have measured up. I always had more than I need. Now I will wait. I have given away all my replacements. I will wait until I can order the original... great, perfectly balanced Srirachi. There are no replacements for me. I Admire David Tran and his story. His product is also just superior. Fans have always appreciated their favorite sauce but we will never take it for granted again(assuming it will always be there).There will be an audible celebration whan we can get our beloved Sriracha again!

Shortage again now in 2023.

Underwood killed the Golden Goose. Screw them!

I hope Tran gets his own private jet. He deserves it

Because it is the very best flavor and best brand to use for all kind of food, PERIOD......

now theres a shortage :(

He makes a great sauce!

Srsriracha is belong to thailand . I don’t understand it become Vietnamese ?

I have a large Bottle of Sriracha in the Fridge, which I'm nursing. And I have four large bottles as a back up because I listened to news that a shortage was coming.... I'm trying other hot sauce substitues to help my Bottles last a long long time..

ORIGINAL SRIRACHA SAUCE IS THAILAND NOT VIETNAM AND CHINA

California rolls Sushi 🍣 is a popular in America, but nobody could call it an American food. Sriracha sauce is a same thing .

It's not like he invented the thing, he just cheapened it and as he grew more and more wealthy he shared less and less with his workers and community.

It is true that each nationality has different selfish and exploitative habits. Even the owner of Sriracha Sauce (Thailand) is half Chinese and really didn't invent the sauce. The real story is that his real Thai wife invented and improved the sauce taste for dipping seafood. Husband and family are just eaters.
…………………….
Please note, no one ever mentioned the person behind the scenes, that person is the wife of the owner of Sriracha sauce products, who is a real Thai lady and is the one who served her family members the sauce for plates of seafood. Please also note that the seasoning including chili not brought from China. His wife who establish recipes for cooking, did not copy the recipe from anywhere else. Give her credits.

Huy Fong Sriracha is my favorite hot sauce since I tried it at a San Diego restaurant on my favorite beef & broccoli, in the 1980s! I use it in all of my savory recipes to add a much needed kick. I tried a different brand during the shortage. No Bueno!!! My sister went to Vegas and found some Huy Fong, and sent me a bottle! What a 🔥 hot 😎 souvenir!

Sriracha sauce from Thailand also created by ethnic Chinese, based on Chinese chili garlic sauce.

It was very pity that the plagiarists were praised. Why don't we consider some trade etiquette even though the original product owner still doesn't yet register the copyright of the product name? This is the oppression of poor producers. It is an example that should not be glorified at all.

The sauce is so great they named a town in thailand after it.

Thai invented Sriracha sauce. Saying anything different is like saying Japanese didnt invent Sushi.

Why he don’t use name Hochimin sauce?

Sriracha is a Thai name. It's the name of a town in Thailand, not too far from the famous Pattaya beach resort. The town Sriracha is also the birthplace of the Sriracha sauce that has been the most popular sauce in Thailand (the famous land of hot and spicy food) for over 80 years. For Thais, it is so essential for many Thai dishes in particular Pad Thai and many other famous noodle and curry dishes. Thai Sriracha sauce is also quite popular among Thailand's neighboring countries including Vietnam. The fact is Thai Sriracha sauce has been created and widespread used for decades well ahead of David Tran's sauce in your story. However, Thai Sriracha sauce was first generated and distributed from a homegrown family business; like many Thai local family business owners at the time, they most likely had no idea about patenting and or trademarking concepts or strategies to protect their products and opportunities. Most Thais know about the miss opportunity of the Thai Sriracha sauce. The sad part is the Thai name Sriracha that is synonym with not only the Thai native town but also the Thai hot sauce that has been generated and used daily in Thai homes for almost a century was taken and claimed by this sauce as their own.
