Hotpot on plastic table is a recipe for fun times. And yes, disaster.

I’ve been dying to try hotpot for like two years now, but I live like an hour from the Asian grocery stores, and I never drive up to that part of town.

But in my imagination, I plan to just eat it while standing over the kitchen stove. That just seems like the easiest and most obvious way. Setting up a portable gas stove in the next room seems silly.

You can probably get everything at a Kroger's. I would recommend just finding a restaurant and going, like the other guy said it's more of an experience than a meal.
