Day 12: The Melting Pot

With the twinz on board, the calorie coefficient has increased at least a little bit. So what better way to try to fulfill that than to go to a great restaurant that you've never been to before...and that's exactly what we did in meeting Spark and Gina for dinner at the Melting Pot in downtown DC. Other than one cheese fondue that Gena made at home, we have not really been immersed into the fondu dining style as a full meal...but we were more than willing to give it a fair try :-)

Our waitress was a rookie in its fullest meaning, but aside from that it was a great time and experience. We had the "Big Night Out" special, which allowed us to pick our appetizer, main course and dessert; and it also included a salad. We started with some awesome Caribbean cheese fondue, which came with bread, veggies, and granny smith apple piece dippers. Then it was on to a tropical salad. Our Fondue Fusion main course was awesome and consisted of: Lobster Tail; Filet Mignon; Jerk-seasoned Sirloin; Vanilla Rum Chicken; Zesty Shrimp; Pork Tenderloin; and veggies. After packing all of that scrumptious food down; it was on to the finale... and a finale it was: COOKIES AND CREAM MARSHMALLOW DREAM fondue. This was dark chocolate, topped with marshmallow cream, flambee'd, and then topped with Oreo cookies....oh yeah, and we got brownies, rice crispy treats, strawberries, pound cake, marshmallows, and chocolate covered marshmallows to dip into it! It was heaven in a pot :-)

What a great time being out with Spark and Gina and what a great meal at the Melting Pot. We'll definitely seek one out in Atlanta, and definitely recommend it if there is one in your area. Two thumbs up for the fantastic fondue!
