Fondue

Went to the Melting Pot in downtown Seattle and had a lovely fondue meal. We started with the Swiss Cheese Fondue with bread, granny smith apples and veggies. Next we had the Pacific Rim special with shrimp, chicken, teriyaki beef, pork and potstickers dipped in hot oil. The food is mouthwatering and the atmosphere is unique. I recommend it for anyone who loves fondue. They have quite a few locations and are in several states.
