Tao Ran Ju
Chinatown's new hot pot hot spot

2002 S Wentworth Ave, btw Cullerton and Archer; Chinatown;
312.808.1111

Americans have long recognized the importance of doing
things for yourself, which is why they hired that British
guy to teach that stuff on Man vs. Wild. Giving another
lesson in self-reliance, China-style, Tao Ran Ju.

Just opened in Chinatown, TRJ's a 50-plus seat hot pot
palace that's outfitted with black and white burner-equipped
tabletops that transfer some of the cooking responsibilities
onto you, like an Easy Bake Oven, except you don't have to
hide the black and white table-topped ovens in your sister's
room. The hot pot process starts with the selection of a
broth (hot & spicy, miso, seafood, etc) which'll be the
medium for cooking up all manner of a la carte veggies and a
dizzying array of proteins ranging from the familiar (lamb,
pork, lobster) to more esoteric fare like duck tongue, pig
kidneys, and goose intestines, which Maverick forlornly cast
out to sea in the exceptionally gross director's cut. For
those who prefer things done for them, there's an equally
long list of stuff available grilled up skewer-style
(shrimp, pigs feet, just about every part of a chicken),
Japanese-style noodle dishes, an assortment of pork buns,
served pan-fried or steamy -- it'll be a challenge to keep
Ker-mitts off of them.

Because bringing you booze would make things too easy, TRJ's
a BYOB joint, meaning you have to do the wine buying
yourself, but hey, at least you're not surviving on scorpion
anus.
