POT Opening Next Week; March Madness at Bludso's

KOREATOWN— Roy Choi's full restaurant inside The Line Hotel, POT, started doing friends, family, and media previews this week, with an official debut next week. The menu comes in a full-sized newspaper and a large menu of wide-bowled pots that come stuffed with everything from ramen noodles, canned meats, and tofu (classic "Army" stew) to seafood pots chock full of fresh finds from the ocean. While pots are meant to be shared in various sizes, they can also be ordered in individual sizes. The flavors are right at home in Koreatown, authentic to a fault, according to early reports.
