14 Great Restaurants Open On Christmas Day - Chicago - The Infatuation
"If you wake up on Christmas Day with a burning desire for hot pot, head to Qiao Lin. This restaurant in the 88 Marketplace building is one of our favorite hot pot places in the city. For one, they have tables designed for two people so you don’t need a big group. And you can order pots with either one, two, or three-way broth dividers, which is really convenient. The menu also has suggested cooking times, which is not only helpful but can help avoid potential arguments about how long you should leave the fish balls in the spicy broth (five minutes, by the way). Just know that they’re walk-in only, and there’s often a wait unless you show up right when they open." - adrian kane, john ringor
