This Dish Is On Fire
Sichuanese hot pot restaurants find a warm welcome in Seattle
A larger-than-life stuffed panda keeps customers company in the hallway of Qiao Lin Hotpot as people wait for a table on a busy Saturday night in downtown Seattle. Servers bustle by with tureens of bubbling spiced broth and golden cow-shaped vessels proffering paper-thin slices of high-quality beef.
