It's Hip to Dip!

Cody and I made it to a local fondue restaurant a few weekends ago, and I just had to post some pics. If you haven't ever tried going to a fondue restaurant...you are missing out! We went to our first one in Chicago and we were instantly hooked. I haven't yet tried The Melting Pot, but that's a popular one that most people have heard of.

The one we go to around here is actually a Swiss/German-themed restaurant and their specialty is their yummy fondue "meal deal":

First Course: Gruyere, Emmenthaler, and Appenzeller Cheese Fondue
Dippers: Bread, Veggies, and Green Apple pieces

Second Course: Broth/Oil for the Meat

Dippers: Meat for the hubby, Shrimp for me

Swiss Potatoes and Dipping sauces (BBQ, Teriyaki, Peanut, Southwest, Horseradish)

AND...

Final Course: CHOCOLATE FONDUE!
Dippers: bananas, melon, strawberries, pineapple, and biscotti cookies

Needless to say, you're pretty full when you get done...but it's oh SO fun and DELICIOUS!!
