If the cloudy air lately seems unfamiliar, that’s because yesterday was the first “unhealthy” Air Quality Index reading in decades. Central Ohio is still experiencing residual wildfire smoke from Canada, but conditions are expected to improve throughout the day. (WOSU)

Where has all the Sriracha gone?
And to think we took this sight for granted last year. | Photo by Paul Narvaez via Wikimedia Commons
Last year, we heard word from Huy Fong Foods that a sriracha shortage was on the horizon. Now, it seems we’re in for another sriracha drought — quite literally.
Droughts in Mexico — where Huy Fong Foods sources its chilis — have affected supplies. In an interview with Food & Wine, the company recently revealed that the sauce shortage comes as a result of an “unexpected crop failure from the spring chili harvest.”
So what about those who crave capsaicin? (Think: the chemical that gives spicy food that burning sensation.) Unfortunately, there’s no end to the shortage in sight. And — since it doesn’t sell to stores directly — Huy Fong Foods can’t predict when products will return to shelves. But you could try your luck on a site like Amazon, where Forbes reported a pack of two 17-ounce bottles recently was listed for $94.99. We’ve also seen bottles listed for over $40 on eBay.
I’ve been updating our happy hour guide to share some of the newest food and drink deals in the city. Do you have a go-to happy hour? My friends and I always choose Forno, but we could be convinced to try something new.
