The Melting Pot

What is better than food dipped in cheese? Food dipped in cheese and then more food dipped in chocolate...mmmmm.....

So Bryant won a gift card to a restaurant of his choice from his boss at work, and someone had told him to try out the Melting Pot in downtown Salt Lake City. So he did.
It's kind of a fancy place so I decided to dress up just a bit.
There was even valet parking (for really cheap) which made me feel really rich and sophisticated.
So The Melting Pot is a fondue restaurant which is really fun. We did this thing that gives you four courses. The first two was a salad, and then you picked a cheese and they gave you fruits, vegetables and bread to dip in them. Bryant's boss Tyler and his girlfriend came with us so we had two cheeses. They got artichoke and spinach in swiss and we got a sharp cheddar. But it's not just cheese, there is all sorts of stuff thrown in there for flavor.
Mmmmmm... yummy cheese!

The third course was a mix of lobster, steak, chicken, shrimp, beef, bratwurst, ravioli and potatoes.
They also gave us a ton of dipping sauces like cocktail sauce and curry.
At first we were confused because it was all raw, but then the waitress brought out two more pots of oil stuff. We got one called the Caribbean Mojo which was chicken bouillon, lime juice, garlic, orange juice and a few other things I can't remember, and Tyler and his date got Bougennon, which is just like a simple chicken bouillon in oil.Now the fun part is that with your raw meats and such, you are supposed to dip them in the oil and cook them yourself. Steak and chicken took 2 minutes to cook, potatoes about 10-15 and everything else a minute and a half.
Then came the best part...

Dessert!
Now I'm talking bananas, strawberries, marshmallows, pound cake, brownies and cheesecake, all dusted in powdered sugar and dipped in your choice of chocolate. Tyler and his date chose Smore, which was chocolate with melted marshmallows, and Bryant and I chose "The original" which was chocolate with peanut butter chunks in it. It. Was. AMAZING!
And yes... That pot of Smore flavored chocolate is On Fire! But it was only flaming for a brief moment.... No worries...

So I know I enjoyed the Melting Pot, and I'm pretty sure Bryant did too...
