The Melting Pot

Last night, Andrew and I met up with a couple of my friends at The Melting Pot in Addison for dinner. Beth, a girl I've known since we were in junior high, is visiting from Kansas until later this month. So we rounded up her and Sara and took her to our favorite fondue spot, since she'd never been. First up was the cheese course! We had two burners at our table, so we got two different kinds. We got their classic cheddar cheese fondue, and then their featured cheese, a "Quattro Formaggio Four Cheese" fondue, which had Fontina, Grùyere, and Gran Queso cheeses blended with roasted garlic, basil and tomato pestos and fresh mozzarella perlini. They came with dishes of bread (three kinds) and fruit (apples) and veggies (cauliflower, celery, and carrots) for dipping. So yummy!!!







The next course was a salad, we all opted for the house salad.






Then came mine and Sara's favorite part: the meat course! The Melting Pot is running a Mid-Summer Night special, where you get the cheese, salad, meat, and chocolate fondue courses for two, for just $59 (plus tax and gratuity). We got to pick our cheeses, salads, and chocolates, but the meat course had to be something specific. It was a plate of shrimp, filet mignon, teriyaki sirloin, and chicken. It comes with veggies (broccoli, potatoes, and mushrooms) and about 5 or 6 different kinds of sauces to use after you cook your meat. This course is SO GOOD!!!






Andrew and I tried to get some good shots of us in, but he was being a goober and I kept looking at him with a look, haha.




We got a few good ones finally, though!





The chocolate course was last, and it was awesome! One pot had their S'mores fondue in it, while the one by Sara and I (since we were the only ones who wanted it) had their bananas foster fondue. Both were flambéed at the table. We got plates that had cheesecake, brownies, pound cake, marshmallows, bananas, strawberries, Rice Krispies treats, and graham crackers to dip in the fondues.










We all were so full when we left, but Beth had a great time and said she understood why we raved about that place so much! It was great seeing her, and I can't wait to spend more time with her on her trip to Dallas! Her boyfriend will be home from Iraq here soon for a little bit, and I'm looking forward to meeting him!

I love hanging out with my girls!! Thanks for coming out with us last night, Sara and Beth!!
