Daddy and I got to go to The Melting Pot last night. It was mostly a Valentine's dinner. We had the best time. We have done fondue at home before, so we kinda knew what to expect. However, we had never done cheese fondue before. We had a spicy Mexican cheese and had breads, veggies, apples, and chips to dip. Next was a Cobb salad (what makes it Cobb?) It was very good. Now for the main course: BBQ tenderloin, fillet, salmon, shrimp, chicken, spinach ravioli (the one thing Daddy turned his nose up at but turned out to be both one of our favorites), and veggies (mushrooms, broccoli, squash, potatoes). We had a Coq A Vin base for the fondue "type" It was OK, but we both said we would try something different next time. There were also 7 different dipping sauces--the best was the teriyaki.
The final course was the dessert course: chocolate fondue with crunchy peanut butter melted in. YUMO! There were many choices to dip in the chocolate: graham cracker crumb covered marshmallows, Oreo crumb covered marshmallows, strawberries, bananas, brownies, Rice Krispie treats, pound cake, and cheesecake. Doesn't it make your mouth water just thinking about it? The best course by far was the dessert course. Daddy and I have decided that if we ever go again (if, if, if) we would just get the cheese course and the dessert course.
We had such a good time, but I was so full at the end that I was almost uncomfortable. If you ever get to go, be prepared to spend a lot of money, a lot of time, and be very stuffed when you are done. It was AWESOME!
Here are pictures before we become overly stuffed.
Side notes: (Yes, I was the nerd who took her camera into the restaurant to take pictures. And C wanted to know why he couldn't go on the date with us. #1: It's a Mommy and Daddy date #2: I am not paying those prices for him!)
