I try to think back to my life pre-Virginia to see if I was much
of a foodie then than I am now. I honestly think that answer is no. You see,
exposure is everything and I don’t think I was exposed much to anything outside
of my normal southern delicacies (pig feet, chitterlings, neck bones). Now that
was good eating and still to this day I indulge in my southern delicacies.
However, Virginia and the DMV has opened my palate to sooo many different foods
(and cultures).
One of the best ways to learn of new food adventures is to join a
meetup or a groupme in your area. But the absolute BEST way, is to start an
account on Yelp. If you know me personally then you already know my love for
Yelp is infinite. Nonetheless, I try to go to every event that my schedule
allows and since I’m a Yelp Elite, their events are really the cream of the
crop.

| Always make time for a margarita!!! |
Last night I was able to attend NoVA Supper Club and enjoy a nice
dinner at
Hot Spot, Fairfax with my fellow
Yelpers. Hot Spot specializes in the
hot pot which is described as an
"Asian-style
fondue" but in soup form if that makes sense. Now I’m not a fan of
fondue per se, but this dining experience was nothing short of amazing. What
made it sweeter is the all you can eat price of $22.99. Although it was my first time, the order sheet
was pretty self-explanatory and there several Yelpers around that were more than
willing to offer suggestions. I ordered the basic broth, with noodles, veggies,
and several types of meat/seafood. Just see for yourself:

| I am such a saucer!!! |
 |
| #SauceHeaven |
 |
| #TooMuchSauce |
 |
Make sure you're hungry when you visit
|
 |
| Get in my belly!!! |
 |
| Can you believe I cooked ALL of this!!! |
 |
| Quite a deal |
I can actually see myself visiting Hot Spot again and again because it was just that great. Aside from the price and the amount of food you get, the atmosphere was fantastic. The music that they played definitely went along with the have it your way vibe. Have you tried any new and interesting restaurants? If so, let me know in the comment section, us foodies have to stick together!!!
