Chubby Cattle
2 Broadway
We’ve been anticipating this Chinese hot-pot restaurant since the company (its only other eatery is in Las Vegas) announced its intentions to move into the space that was most recently the Walnut Room nearly a year ago. A goofy name and a futuristic concept — refrigerated conveyor belts deliver hot-pot ingredients to your table — are the main draws. It’s no wonder the place is behind schedule, since all that equipment and technology are being crammed into a tight, two-story corner spot, but it’s looking like mid- to late-January is a distinct possibility.
