Oh boy oh boy, I just had my first Melting Pot experience last night. I can't believe the amount of cheese fondue they bring for two people! I'm sure most of you have been there, but what a fun experience! If you haven't been, it's quite an experience but don't order, "The Big Night Out!"

You cook your own food, so if you want to bring leftovers home you have to cook it all up. After the cheese dip and salad, I was too full for the meat n' veggies. So I spent my evening slaving over a hot stove (haha) cooking up all that food to bring home so I can have an awesome lunch today. But I woke up and found and empty container on the counter! Chris took the whole thing then called and laughed at me for not hiding it! Trust me, I'll get even.

Last night I took Mekha out for an early Sweet 16 surprise date, and we had an amazing night. I bought tickets to Mystere' by Cirque du Soleil, and she literally sat on the edge of her chair the entire show. She's a dancer and wants to pursue a career as a dancer. Then we went to the Melting Pot and spent a few hours laughing and eating fondue style. Very cool. Her parents called & said she's gushing with excitement, so I just HAD to share our pic. Here's my best friend, Mekha.

She's beautiful! So happy to hear that the 2 of you had such a good time. And shame on Chris for eating those leftovers on you! I'd get even too! LOL

hey lisa! i LOVE the melting pot! for future reference you CAN the big night out for ONE and split it! calvin and i did that (he's and RNY'er) and we STILL had to much food!!!

YUM YUM though, when we left my stomach was hard as a rock where i ate so much...the only way i'll ever have abs of steel is by eating to much fondue!!!

ya'll look like you had a blast!

Why the heck didn't they tell us we could get The Big Night Out for one person? We could have split that and still had leftovers. Boy, to think of the money I threw away. Thanks, Shel. They're opening one near my house in January (we drove to the other side of town last night.) I'd like to take my husband, but he's so spoiled that he'd ask me to cook all his food and ruin the fun.

I love to go there and order just the cheese fondue, salad and of course the dessert! It's just perfect! I can't remember what it's called on the menu - but you'll be able to find it.

Mmmm Melting Pot. chocolate Fondue. Great place to go w/ friends b/c your meal takes 3 hours.

BTW - last time we were there when the guy was puring the beer in the cheese fondue DH asked him what kind of beer they use, thinking it had to be a house or micro-brew. Nope, they use PBR. :eek:

This sounds great. I wish places like that were here - okay maybe its better that I can only enjoy stuff like that on vacations. I'll have to put that in my vacation book. Celeste

oh! I LOVE the Melting Pot! My husband, son and I go there when ever we can--we get the big night out and split it by three--YUM! They just opened one recently in Appleton so we try to get there when we can.

Now checking calender to see when we can go next.......
