How much do you love cheese and especially a delicious fondue? If you're all about cheese, like we are, you're in luck. SideDoor in Corona del Mar is debuting another event to its portfolio of cheesy offerings: Tuesday Fondue Night. Its popular monthly Cheese Takeovers takes place on the third Wednesday of each month, SideDoor’s Tuesday Fondue Night starts at 4:30 p.m. and is a new weekly extension to the successful cheese program.
The cheeses are hand-selected each week by SideDoor's own certified cheesemonger Tracy Nelsen. The shareable dish comes adorned with Executive Chef Alejandra Padilla's selection of vibrant, seasonal crudités and fresh, local bread for dipping. Pair your cheese with a wide variety of craft brews on tap, a wine flight or a specialty cocktail by SideDoor's lead bartender Peter Thom. The price is $16 per person.
