Yesterday Bryan told me that he had a lecture/dinner at the hospital that spouses were invited to. Instead, he had gotten reservations at The Melting Pot to surprise me. I have been wanting to go to The Melting Pot for years - ever since the one in Salt Lake City opened - so I was so excited!
Since we were at such a fancy-schmancy restautant, we were on our best behavior! Really, it was so nice to just sit, talk, look at each other, and eat our food without a highchair, kids menu, or crayons in sight!
The cheese fondue was awesome!
Quattro Formaggio Cheese Fondue
Fontina, Grùyere, and Gran Queso cheeses blended with roasted garlic, basil and tomato pestos and fresh mozzarella Perlini. -mmmm! (yes, that was straight from the menu. I know, I'm a nerd.)
A salad was the second course, followed by the entree (veggies, chicken, steak, salmon, and shrimp) which we cooked at our table. The best part was, of course, the dessert!
Our "Flaming Turtle" chocolate fondue (milk chocolate, caramel, and pecans) was delicious (and on fire!)
It was fun to do the whole 4-course meal, but I think if we ever go back, we will just order a cheese fondue and a chocolate fondue. Those were, by far, the best parts of the meal.
Thanks Babe! That was such a sweet, thoughtful surprise and I had a great time with you! THANK YOU, Carl and Nancy, for Bryan's birthday money that paid for it! And last but not least, THANK YOU, Shupes, for watching the munchkins! We don't get out just the two of us very often, so this was an extra special treat!

I LOVE that place! YUM!! What a sweet hubby! You are great Bryan! Thanks for taking such good care of my sister.
I definitely agree. You have to get the whole experience at least once, but the dinner course just isn't worth the wait or the price. The cheese and chocolate fondues are awesome. I love the Parmesan-crusted pine nuts on my salad, though. Yummmmmy!
I loooove Melting Pot. I've been a few times and every time I go I swear I will never have to eat again! I think that all 4 courses are delicious and worth the price, though. That was so sweet of Bryan to take you there AND surprise you with it. I'm glad you had a good time.
That looks so good! I'm jealous:)
Yeah Summer. I am so glad you guys had a night out. It makes everything sunnier the next day.
