It’s Fall & 102°F. Time for: Monland Hotpot, San Gabriel
To celebrate the first day of fall, we hotpotted. It was 80 degrees outside, 120 degrees in my mouth. Hotpotting at such temperatures doesn’t just bring a party to your mouth, it brings pain. Plus a wee bit of funk to your pits. This entry is r...
