"Sriracha butter is my version of beurre blanc, the classic French sauce. The heat doesn't cling to your mouth (the fat subdues it), and lime juice gives it a nice acidity. It's become my signature condiment drizzled over fried chicken, but you can also slather it on burgers, put a little in scrambled eggs and dip fries in it." —Charles Phan, owner of the Slanted Door in San Francisco
