Friend of Edible Skinny Randy Clemens (who wrote
The Sriracha Cookbook and the Veggie-Lovers Sriracha Cookbook) will be
celebrating his 1st Annual San Diego Sriracha Festival next weekend on Saturday
September 20th at Liberty Station (and don’t worry LA his 2nd Annual Los
Angeles Sriracha Festival is happening Sunday October 19th). 
This chef-driven, all-inclusive, 21+ event
from The Sriracha Cookbook and Food GPS spotlights the
world's most iconic hot sauce at a unique, historical venue. Multiple stations
allow guests to enjoy a variety of Sriracha-themed dishes, including desserts,
at their own pace. Local craft beer, cocktails, sodas, iced coffee and iced tea
help tame the heat while a live DJ set helps create a fun and unforgettable
food and drink experience.
Special Sriracha-spiked dishes from some of San
Diego’s best chefs and restaurants participating in this year’s event include:
