The Sriracha documentary is now available! 

Woohoo! After months and months of hard work, independent filmmaker Griffin Hammond has finally released his documentary on the hot sauce we all know and love: Sriracha!

For the first time ever, Huy Fong Foods opened its doors to the outside world, allowing Griffin to film anywhere and everywhere he wished at their Rosemead and Irwindale, CA factories. He was also granted exclusive interviews with founder David Tran, and I joined him on an exciting trip to Si Racha, Thailand, where we learned about Sriracha’s fabled history and got to see how Thai versions are made at the plant that now makes the original: Sriraja Panich.

I couldn’t be more honored or thrilled to be included in this movie!! Beautifully shot and wonderfully entertaining, you’ll never look at your “rooster sauce” bottle the same after watching this 33-minute exploration of the world of Sriracha and the people who bring it to us. 

Available to stream and/or download for only $5. Makes a perfect gift, too!

Sriracha—A Documentary Film by Griffin Hammond

Sriracha Movie Trailer: The First Look!

Super excited to be part of this Sriracha documentary! The wizardly man behind it, Griffin Hammond, is here in LA filming the Huy Fong Foods chile harvest at Underwood Family Farms! In between that, visiting the factory, and crashing chez moi, he made a trailer for his film (that CBS News might air!) and oh look… there I am!! (I’m the guy in the straw hat!)

Can’t wait to see the whole movie! Griffin’s really done his homework and will be presenting the complete Sriracha story! We even went to Si Racha, Thailand to learn more about its history!

Sriracha Documentary on Kickstarter

Yes, it’s true! There is going to be a short film all about our beloved Sriracha! And it’s gonna be friggin’ awesome! How do I know? Well, because the director, Griffin Hammond, has put some SERIOUS work into researching this thing and has been traveling all over to piece together the history of Sriracha, and find out why it’s so darn popular. 

Wanna see it? Here’s your chance! Griffin launched a Kickstarter campaign yesterday to get the film funded, and it smashed through its goal in JUST EIGHT HOURS! Turns out plenty of folks are more than willing to shell out FIVE BUCKS to see this spicy masterpiece. (There are some other pretty neat perks, like the ability to get an autographed copy of The Sriracha Cookbook or The Veggie-Lover’s Sriracha Cookbook! w00t.)
