For a night of exoticism, gluttony, intoxication and utter abandon, look no further than Grand Hot Pot Lounge, the Inner Richmond's gift to spicy-food enthusiasts and aspiring American Idol contestants everywhere. If you've got a crew and you want to sing your hearts out, reserve a small karaoke and hot-pot room in advance.
As for the all-you-can-stomach menu (includes hot pot, drinks and karaoke for $32.99 per person), be careful not to fill up on green onion pancakes and the soup dumplings before the main event, a Szechuan-style hot pot. It can get super fiery, so be sure to have enough Tsingtao to wash it down, and note that you'll have to pay extra for any food items you can't finish. (This shrewdly discourages guests from ordering more than they can manage.)
