If I am eating at A Chanukah Party in a different place then my home may I light the Menorah at the location of the Chanukah Party and be Yotzeh?

Is Yotzeh the same as Yotzer Orh? – neilfein Dec 27 '11 at 1:27
@neilfein Yotzeh in this context means to fulfill the obligation – yydl Dec 27 '11 at 3:41

Mishna B'rura 677:12 says someone eating at another's home but in his own city must return home to light, except if he eats there on an established basis. (Which leads to another question....)

No.

You need to light where you live, or possibly where you're staying. Eating one meal doesn't count.
