Sriracha Shortage Drives Up Prices, Forces Restaurants to Adapt

Huy Fong Foods' Sriracha is facing a shortage due to insufficient chile pepper supply and production issues.
Third-party resellers are price gouging, with bottles being resold at high markups online.
Other hot sauce brands like Tabasco have ample supply and are meeting demand.
The shortage is partially attributed to climate issues affecting chile pepper crops.
With limited availability of Huy Fong Sriracha, chefs are substituting or changing recipes.
