OPENINGS
Chengdu Memory
On the heels of the recent opening of the Sichuan-style dry pot restaurant Chuan on Capitol, this elegant new Sichuanese restaurant serving hot pots opened in the former space of Chinese-Korean eatery Red Lantern on Wednesday, June 12. Guests can choose from among five soup bases (a spicy broth with beef oil, a base made with pork bones, a mushroom base, a tomato base, or a numbing Szechuan pepper base with pickled cabbage) and customize it further with a selection of add-ons like deep fried pork, spicy braised beef, cumin lamb, short ribs, pork belly, and more.
