Sriracha CEO Compares California to Communist Vietnam, Texas Officials to Court Company

by Breitbart Texas 16 May 2014, 7:12 AM PDT 119 post a comment

Sriracha hot sauce manufacturer Huy Fong Foods has spent the past few months in an intense legal battle with the city of Irwindale California over their plant’s caustic smell. The lawsuit has already caused a partial shutdown of Sriracha’s Irwindale factory, after a restraining order to shut down the plant entirely was denied by a California Judge.

According to Huy Fong Foods CEO, David Tran, the city’s over zealous persecution of the 30 year old California plant reminds him of growing up in Communist Vietnam.

“Today, I feel almost the same. Even now, we live in (the) USA, and my feeling, the government, not a big difference," he said.

At a local city council meeting, the New York Times reported that Tran asked, “Why do you want to shut me down...I’m not sure why the U.S.A. lets local government do stupid things like this.

No frig should be without a bottle of Sriracha Sauce.

That stuff will go on top of anything - and taste good.

Hope he makes the move.

these rat-bastards have soiled their own nest. Let the good people move to Texas and let the feral-libs try to survive on their own. Screw them.

Agreed Pete! But I don't refrigerate mine!

I couldn't buy the stuff last time I was at the grocery store so I bought a generic brand and it was not even close to the same taste.

Thanks California!

I work for a company that has a similar situation. I work for a "fish reduction plant"; we take the leftover fish scraps from canneries and process them. We make 3 main products: fish meal for petfood, fish bone for fertilizer, and fish oil that goes back to aquaculture.

The plant has been in the same area for 65+ years. 3 years ago a subdivision of houses was built about a quarter mile down the road. While I admit our plant is VERY smelly, and we were here first, we are in compliance the standards set by DEQ for air and water quality. However, we receive numerous complaints from these newcomers and are currently in legal battle as well.

I blame the people, and therefore the government, for being weak and giving in.

The problem is that the "feral-libs" move to other states and bring their utopian ideas with them (see Colorado). They're like a virus, they just move to a healthy host, destroy it then move on to another.

The state of Kalifornia can hardly afford to further erode their tax base, who is gonna pay for all their giveaways?

The current state of California is a shame.

I try to get out of LA as quickly as I can.

I would think an unbiased analysis of what conditions and actions(as well as inactions..government just getting out of the way) led to the rise of Silicon Valley would be well worth it.

There's some pretty amazing history there.

I'm no expert on the history of the area, but I know the history of the semiconductor industry and slices of the tech industry there.

As I understand it, a strong education system combined with some world class "hub" universities, affordable housing, good infrastructure, a great climate, and local/state government that supported new business formation were some of the characteristics that helped Silicon Valley germinate.

Apple orchards with no value added were replaced by world class bleeding edge technology export companies, that were slowly suffocated by a never ending cycle of elected good idea fairies.

At least that's the way it looks from this angle.

Currently 80 degrees at the beach. The weather is just right for drinking. I am going to catch some sun then mosey down to the pier to watch the sights and the kings game 7.

You guys keep on hating. I'll be at the bar.

Give us a heads-up as to when, then go to the trash can across from the Mermaid (on the strand) and give us a wave on their webcam.

So an unhappy Vietnamese immigrant businessman equates life in CA to life in Vietnam and Breitbart falls for his hyperbole? Good one.

Pho real? I have to try that! California has serious drawbacks but I won't be moving until my kids get out of school. Right now, I'm enjoying a baseball game in zero humidity and it's 75 degrees outside! Living an hour from the beach and an hour from the mountains is a real plus.

He is talking about government intervention in his business. Not quite as simple as you put it.

The 'business' of local governments is to intervene on behalf of their communities. I would argue it's not as simple as either Mr Tran or Breitbart put it.
