"This Bridgeport spot uses thin slices of tender meat that practically disintegrate in your mouth, leaving behind the telltale pleasant tingling of sichuan peppers in their Chinese-Chicagoan version of a beef. The spice is amped up even more thanks to the addition of chili oil-soaked giardiniera and a side of hot pot broth in place of jus. It’s not traditional, but like opposable thumbs and Roombas, the hot pot beef at 3 Little Pigs Chi is an evolutionary marvel we didn’t know we needed, but now can’t live without." - veda kilaru
