Flashback Friday - Hot Spot Restaurant

Known as "asian-style fondue", Hot Spot, located in Fairfax, VA, is sort of reminiscent of an asian version of the Melting Pot. So basically, you cook your own food. This was my first time having hot pot and it was very interesting to say the least.

The way it works:

1. Choose a broth to cook in. I chose the veggie broth.
2. Choose your proteins and veggies. It's all you can eat, so you can check off anything from a menu they provide.
3. You have the option of preparing a sauce at their sauce bar.
4. Dip everything in the broth and let it cook up.
5. Dip in sauce and eat!

In general, I was very overwhelmed by it all and I didn't think it was a typical complete meal. By the time you feel like you have everything cooked, it's a lot to eat. Overall, it was difficult to keep up with and I probably won't go back but it was definitely a cool experience!
