| - Went to a Great Lakes special event beer dinner @ Melting Pot a while back and forgot to publish this post ... it was my first experience and was absolutely great! On par with a normal meal - was $45 for cheese fondue, salad, entree, chocolate fondue PLUS 5 3oz samples of Great Lakes beers. (again, it was a special event, so not totally on par with normal cost)
Cheese fondue was garlic & herb...talk about creamy, yummy goodness. I could have just dipped my spoon in and eaten it by the scoop, but I don't think my friends would have liked that much.
Entree was a selection of four kinds of stuff - coconut marinated shrimp, chile marinated chicken, then some kind of pork and filet mignon. Cooks in broth, not oil. Unfortunately, it's easy to get caught up in conversation and forget that you're cooking your meal...so I overcooked most of my food. But it was still delish! HOWEVER, that steaming broth ... wow, it really smelled of garlic, and unfortunately, so did I when I left!
My favorite part was the chocolate fondue. We had dark chocolate raspberry....I don't normally LIKE dark chocolate, but this one was awesome. Comes with a plate of fruits and other tasty treats like marshmallows, rice krispie treats, and cheesecake.
Overall, a fun and delcious experience. I am officially addicted. :)
