"It’s been scientifically proven that things on a stick taste better, but the hot pot at Friend BBQ in Chinatown would be great even without the skewer. This small spot in Chinatown has a long menu of various items like fatty beef, lamb, and tendon that you order by the piece, then dunk into a vat of boiling broth. It’s reasonably priced enough that you can try lots of different pieces, and they stay open till 2am." - adrian kane, john ringor
