lilwatt Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 I called the restaurant and asked if the broth has any MSG, soy, dairy, or grain and they said it is all good. Is there anything else I should be worried about? Should I just play it safe and not eat the broth? Has anyone had any experience with Hot Pot while doing the whole30?

laura_juggles Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Also have to watch out for what oils they use and sugars in any seasonings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Tom Denham Posted January 21, 2016 Moderators Share Posted January 21, 2016 The question to ask is what is in the broth, not what is not in it. And the place to ask is the restaurant, not anywhere else. You cannot take the word of someone on a forum or heaven forbid out in the wild internet that a certain food at a certain place is safe. You need to ask at the location you are going. Recipes change, sometimes one location is doing something a little different than another location. Waiters give false reports. People ask the wrong question, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LucieB Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Do you mean Hot Pot in Saint Louis? http://www.hotpotsmoothie.com/menu/ I love that place, we go there all the time when I visit family. Last time I was there they had a DEDICATED Whole30 page to their menu! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cbg84 Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 If you are talking about Hotpot in St Louis I love that place! However I have not eaten there during a whole30 and I have noticed that their menu changes somewhat frequently. They do have a paleo section with sweet potato and zoodle options, but I couldn't tell you what is in their sauces. The owner is extremely friendly though, and I would bet that if you called ahead or went at a slower time and talked with her she would be more than happy to direct you to compliant options or even create something for you if necessary.
