Yesterday was Customer Appreciation Day at the Melting Pot! Panda and I went to enjoy a dinner there and try out the special items available that day.

First we started with a Customer Appreciation exclusive – lump crab fontina fondue!

I got myself one of my favorite drinks: blackberry sage lemonade.

old-style mushroom salad with button mushrooms and sprouts at the melting pot

I got the special salad for Customer Appreciation Day, old-style mushroom salad. I would have liked some more dressing, but once I sprinkled on their garlic and wine seasoning, it was awesome.

For the next course, we got a selection of delicious meats that consisted of chicken, shrimp, pork, beef, and then some mushroom wontons to boot.

Also to get cooked as part of the entree were potatoes, broccoli, and mushrooms.

First we test out the Bourguignonne cooking style (aka cooking with canola oil) with a shrimp and chicken.

broccoli and mushroom in batter cooking in canola oil (Bourguignonne cooking style)

Then I try a mushroom smothered in one of the batters, topped with some teriyaki sauce.

Panda got ambitious with his battering and covered this broccoli a little too well.

canola oil with lots of little air bubbles after boiling for awhile

Afterwards, the oil was brown and continued to bubble for awhile.

Ultimately, we couldn’t finish everything so we cooked it all to take home.
