"All-you-can-eat spots are alive and well outside of Las Vegas, and the recent addition of Ben Ben Hot Pot to the Bay Area dining scene proves that theory. Open for lunch and dinner, the Berkeley restaurant offers a mix of soup bases such as pork tripe, chicken, oxtail, beef rib, and more, per the Mercury News, with a selection of meat-forward or vegetarian dipping options, and a wide range of sauces to add on." - Dianne de Guzman
