This restaurant was a little out of the city, but definitely worth the travel. The Melting Pot is a fondue restraunt. Yeah, I know what you're thinking--cheese--and that's what I thought too. But as I found out (as you will soon too), it's not just cheese: they also have a broth base and a hot oil to fry your meats, and chocolate fondue for dessert. Evrything comes out raw and seasoned, and you choose how you want to cook it. The lobster and filet minon was amazin--the best lobster I've had; even better then Bob Chin's. This is a great place to sit and converse while eating.
