There was a long piece on the beginnings of Sriracha in LA (I cannot find it because there are many), but what stood out to me specifically was it talking about how "back home" the American Sriracha was the shit.

I am sweating here the fact that I am making more than is allowed in order to contribute. Fidelity lets me, so I do, but someone like Thiel, of course, can find ways. How in the f*k do you invest into startups with something that is not pub
