DVD Review: Kobe Doin' Work
Here's the best part of the meal, the chocolate fondue! We ordered the Ying / Yang fondue and it's quite visually impressive. The white chocolate was smooth, sweet and creamy. I really liked the bananas with the white chocolate. The dark chocolate was stronger and had more of a cocoa flavor, as dark chocolate usually does. Very good with the strawberries.
The Melting Pot was recommended to me as a place for a special occasion, and since this past Sunday was an anniversary of sorts, we found ourselves here, on the second floor overlooking Colorado Blvd. in Pasadena.
It's a bit pricey, and I was only really blown away by the chocolate fondue, but I think it's worth the money for a good fondue experience if you've never had it before. Service was attentive and there's more interaction between you and the waitress than a normal meal would have. If this is your first time they would do a very good job explaining everything to you. I would come back to try different kinds of chocolate fondues. They were so good. Mmmmm...chocolate... *Smack lips*

If you go with a large group, you actually get a great variation of cheeses, oils, and chocolates that makes it well worth the money. Even though this is one of my favorite places ever, I hardly ever go because I'm not sure it's worth it unless you have enough people to get at least 2 pots at a time (4-6 people). But just thinking about it is making me drool...
I guess I can't use the old "Fondon't" anymore.
I am
1) Amazed that someone would imply fondue is mostly a dessert thing.
2) Please go to a non-chain fondue place, it's much better.
Paul,
1. I was being playfully sarcastic with the title.
2. Please feel free to suggest a much better fondue restaurant.
I'd love to know about a non-chain fondue place...
I love Melting Pot's chocolate fondue with amaretto. YUM!
