a hotpot chain in the US. I don't do it bc I'm too poor. Americans don't get enough veggies, they love meat, and they love big quantities of food for cheap. The hotpot place next to me has a line out the door for 2 hours and can't keep up. I wish there were more of them around. Plus, all you need is raw, uncooked veg/meat and electrical outlets for pots. Little startup cost besides building.
Secondly, an Indian version of chipotle. there is one in Montreal that is great and would prob thrive in US.
Third, Super Giant games needs to make sequels to Hades for different religions and areas. An Aztec or Egyptian spinoff game would be dope.

- justinram11 4y agoI currently live in Taiwan where there are hotpot restaurants everywhere. This has always been my thought for why it would be harder to do in the US (how do you handle the liability of having boiling pots within a toddler's reach). Same with "self cook BBQ" restaurants that put a hot thing of coals in the center of your table.

- mikkergp 4y agoStrangely I can't find a corporate website, but I think Happy Lamb hot pot is a global company. They have one near me just outside of Portland, Oregon and they're fantastic. UK Website: https://happylambuk.com/ https://happylambuk.com/ Australian: https://happylamb.com.au/ https://happylamb.com.au/ Beaverton Google Maps: https://goo.gl/maps/pYJDrL3ZmP2oHNiU9 https://goo.gl/maps/pYJDrL3ZmP2oHNiU9 Same Logos, but no centralized site. Maybe because it's a chinese company and my search isn't finding their Chinese website.
- suzakus 4y agoThey are, some locations have their own site. https://www.happylambhotpotcupertino.com/ https://www.happylambhotpotcupertino.com/ It's also common in asian grocery stores as a hotpot base http://www.littlesheep.com/ http://www.littlesheep.com/ is their American site. They don't seem to have a centralized site the way some franchises do, though
- shaftway 4y agoThere are at least two that I've seen in the bay area, so it checks out.
- fknorangesite 4y ago> Secondly, an Indian version of chipotle. What does this mean, exactly? Like, I know what Chipotle is. And I know what Indian food is, hah.

- conductr 4y ago> an Indian version of chipotle https://biryanis.com/aboutUs https://biryanis.com/aboutUs I frequent the Texas location but didn't realize it was one of the only US locations until now. It's not exactly Chipotle style (which I actually call Subway style) but very QSR/fast casual style. It's pretty good stuff and has a large following for people that I would guess are of Indian decent (I'm white), I feel like that says a lot because they're pickier than I am.
