It's called "Hungry Pot" and it's located on Newtown Road where Teddy's used to be. How is that for a throwback reference? While I plan on sharing my experience with you, here is a quick virtual tour of the place from Taste Connecticut.

I loved this place but it didn't start out that way. Don't get me wrong, the food was delicious, the service was good and the vibe was fun. I did have one problem, there is a learning curve.

If you've never done Korean BBQ, it could take a little getting used to. We hadn't even finished sitting down when the waiter was trying to explain the BBQ and hot pot to me. I still don't understand the hot pot thing but I was almost talked into getting it.

What it came down to is this, if one of us got the hot pot, they wanted all of us to get it because I guess people cheat the system. They have one person order a pot and then everyone shares the things that come with it. I just wanted to fill my face with endless meats and I was so hungry so I was not in the mood to learn the ins and outs of all you can eat economics.

In the end it all worked out, I was not forced to buy a piping hot bowl of broth and I still got to eat about 1000 meats for a very reasonable price. Chef recommends, I'll see you there.

P.S. If you love spicy food like I do, get the spicy pork when you go, it's bang-a-langin'
