THE SKINNY ON DIPPING!
We've always loved the 1970s: platform shoes, Ditto jeans, and "Saturday Night Fever."
Thank goodness one thing remains popular from that era: fondue. So we're huge fans of the Melting Pot restaurants (with three OC locations: Brea, Irvine and San Clemente), which specialize in (what else?) fondue.
Two more pieces of good news:
One, the Melting Pot is offering Daily Dose subscribers one free dessert (your choice of any of our chocolate fondues) with the purchase of any two entrees at its San Clemente location. The restaurant delivers a memorable four-course dining experience where patrons can dip into something different -- and discover all the ingredients for a unique dining experience: a relaxed atmosphere, private tables, attentive service, fine wines and signature fondue dinners.
Two, the Melting Pot has just published a cookbook, "Dip into Something Different: A collection of recipes from our fondue pot to yours." The book offers directions for how to melt the perfect cheese fondue, tips for throwing legendary parties, the history of fondue, and intriguing recipes for starters, fondue cooking styles, marinating sauces, classic and edgy cheese and chocolate fondues, desserts and drinks that will get a party started and keep the fondue pot hot all night.
In Brea: 375 Birch St. #1, 714.671.6000; in Irvine, 2646 Dupont Drive, 949.955.3242; in San Clemente, 647 Camino de los Mares, 949.661.1966.
