How does MyTastr choose these picks?

Every pick is tied to a named chef, cookbook author or food expert and links to the public interview, panel or article it came from. We survey dozens, often hundreds, of top chefs, food writers and critics, and order reflects how often and how strongly a brand is recommended. Only organic recommendations count — paid endorsements don’t — and brands can’t buy a spot.

Sriraja Panich Sriracha Chili Sauce
Chosen by
- Jordan MyrickTaste tester, Sporked
Sporked’s “best of the best” after tasting 27 srirachas: the original Thai sriracha from Si Racha, “so deliciously complex… spicy, sour, garlicky, salty, and even a little sweet.” Thinner and tangier than the rooster bottle — the one for Thai food.
