Sriracha Red Velvet Cream Cheese Cupcakes, You’ll Kind of Like Them
The idea came real quick a few months back — Phil and I were prepping all the items for our Sriracha Food Porn video, a video where the progression of items squirted Sriracha on would get more and more unconventional.
The video starts off tame enough, us squirting sriracha like ketchup onto burgers, cheese fries and noodles.

Frankly, we were a bit concerned it’d come off a bit unbelievable — but believe it, everything in that video actually works well together.
