Earlier this month we reported on Huy Fong Inc., the company behind the beloved Rooster Brand Sriracha hot chili sauce, halting production due to a chili pepper shortage from unexpected crop failure from the spring chili harvest.
Feeling the absence of Huy Fong Inc.'s Sriracha sauce, Los Angeles-based restaurant, Bé Ù Kitchen, announced that they would be giving away "free banh mi, popcorn chicken, or order of summer rolls if you bring us a 28oz bottle of sriracha." If customers bring in 17oz bottles of Sriracha, they will receive half off the price those dishes.
The restaurant shared, "We go through about 312 bottles a year so any little bit helps." So if anyone generous enough to lend a helping bottle or two to Bé Ù Kitchen, know they've got your appetites covered in exchange.
