WORLD FARE: Old House puts the “hot” in hot pot

June 25, 2019 mgardiner

Walking through the door at Old House Hot Pot (8199 Clairemont Mesa Blvd., Ste. S1) in the Convoy District feels like stepping into a Star Trek transporter and getting beamed to Chengdu, the capital of China’s Sichuan province. From the spicy broths and the selection of … [Read more...]

WORLD FARE: Nine shades of hot at Shu Dao

May 29, 2018 mgardiner

Chinese hot pot in San Diego used to mean a trip to Little Sheep Mongolian. Today we have multiple Taiwanese places, a Chonqing spot, ones with personal pots and many with communal pots. With ShuDao Hotpot (4690 Convoy St.), we have an authentic Sichuan place (and it’s not even … [Read more...]

WORLD FARE: Red Cate is the hot pot spot

January 4, 2018 mgardiner

As the calendar turns, there’s a hint of cold in the air (or at least the 619’s rather lame concept of cold). That’s when soups begin to sound like a good idea (even if the weather isn’t all that cold in the first place). Red Cate (3860 Convoy St.), the Convoy’s newest hot pot … [Read more...]

WORLD FARE: Tasty Pot makes “stinky” sound tasty

April 11, 2017 mgardiner

It’s probably a bad idea to be the first to adopt that brand new operating system. Sure, early adopters get that shiny system first—and the invaluable bragging rights that go with it—but the folks waiting for Version x.3 or x.4 are likely to own a more stable system; one that … [Read more...]
