  What is hot pot?
  Hot pot is a Chinese cooking method, prepared with a simmering pot of soup stock at the dining table, containing a variety of East Asian foodstuffs and ingredients. While the hot pot is kept simmering, ingredients are placed into the pot and are cooked at the table. As a popular communal dining experience across Asia, it is truly a savory, memorable experience that you don’t want to miss!
  There are both meat and vegetarian options here. Please let the group know you are vegetarian before we order, however.
  
  WHEN: Meet at Shabuzen restaurant on Saturday, December 15th at 5:00 PM (We are eating early to attempt to avoid crowds.)
