If I was a Sriracha bottle...

 |
| Disarrono Sweet and Sour |
Last week, hordes of Rooster Sauce Lovers danced, drank, and
dined in the historic Chinatown plaza while consuming copious amount of
Sriracha at LA 2nd Annual Sriracha Festival and Edible Skinny was lucky to be
among the attendees!
Hosted by Sriracha guru Randy Clemens of the Sriracha Cookbook
and Joshua Lurie of Food GPS, these two created an event where guests could
enjoy a variety of Sriracha-themed dishes, including desserts, at their own
pace. All the while enjoying
all-inclusive local craft beer, Sriracha based cocktails, and sodas.
Our first stop was my favorite alcoholic beverage of the
event: Disarrono Sweet and Sour by Jason Bran with Disarrono Amaretto, Mango,
Lemon, & Sriracha LA Sriracha Fest.

| Crawfish Mac ‘n Cheese with Spicy House Andouille Sausage |
walked perfectly the tightrope of refreshing and sweet on a hot October day!
 |
| Deviled Eggs, Chicken Skin Crumble and Sriracha Caramel |
My guest’s favorite dish was the Sriracha Crawfish Mac ‘n
Cheese with Spicy House Andouille Sausage by Marcus Christiana-Beniger of TheLittle Jewel of New Orleans. The next
day she told me her mouth still watered thinking about it!

| Crispy Yucca |
Other notable dishes included the Sriracha Deviled Eggs,
Chicken Skin Crumble and Sriracha Caramel by Chef Mei Lin and the Salad of
Sriracha Braised Pumpkin with Yogurt Sauce and Green Sriracha by Mud Hen Tavern.

Since I’m a Veggie, my choices are usually limited, but
luckily since one of the creators is also a Veg there were lots of fun options!
My favorite was the Crispy Yucca by Philip Frankland Lee of The Garadene Swine. This dish was perfect (and was
the only nibble I grabbed multiples of)!
The Garadene
Swine's Crispy Yucca paired fabulously with Phoracha Soda comprised of Lime,
Basil, Anise, Cinnamon, Plus, and Sriracha inspired Vietnam’s Famous Pho Noodle
Soup created by Los Angeles Ale Works. Right now they’re only creating this soda for festival events, but
hear’s to hoping it will make to a fountain near you soon!
On the sweeter side, the Holy Petit S’mores was pretty
amazing. Crafted by Kristine de la Cruz
of Creme Caramel L.A, this dish consisted of a Sriracha marshmallow layered on
a fudgy dark chocolate brownie, dipped in white chocolate, rolled in graham cracker
and topped with Sriracha honeycomb dust. Whoa-ly decadence!

Another standout were the Sriracha Apple Crumble Pie and
Whole Wheat Sriracha Black Bottom Meyer Lemon Custard Pie by Rose Lawrence of Red Bread (when do they ever make a bad dish?).
So there you have it Sriracha from start to finish!
Viva the
Rooster Sauce!
