"At K Pot in South Austin, you can get Korean BBQ or hot pot, either of which are served all-you-can-eat. Everybody gets their own individual pot, and you’ll choose from eight different soup bases ranging from the light and brothy “healthy herbs” to a fiery Sichuan option that will immediately dye anything it touches a dark red hue. There are almost too many meat and vegetable options to count, plus a handful of noodles you can request to fill up with at the end. Most of the ordering takes place through your server, minus a small bar where you can supplement the meal with things like fried chicken and dumplings. Dinner costs around $30 (or an extra $5 if you want both BBQ and hot pot)." - nicolai mccrary
