a fondue restaurant.

We went bowling last week, but only a few of the "voting" members of the CCC were present and we apologize, but there will not be a post on Hurricane Lanes this time. There weren't any drink specials or food... just a ton of fun!! We will be sure to let you know the next time we go bowling so y'all can join in on the fun!

So The Melting Pot of Destin hosts a "Ladies Night Out" the last Tuesday of every month. For January, they hosted their night out with the Girl Scouts of the Florida Panhandle. 

The CCC with a few of the Girl Scouts. They were extremely excited about our giant cookie order, and when we wanted a picture with them, they exclaimed "it's like we are Mickey at Disney World and people want to take pictures with us!"
Just too darn cute.

The Melting Pot created different fondues based off of the cookies including "Samoa" and "Thin Mint" chocolate options for dessert- YUM! 

The Girl Scouts were also present selling cookies, and we ordered enough to last us a year... or two.

With the cookies, vendors, giveaways, delicious (not to mention fun) food, and did we mention COOKIES? We had one of the best nights together as the CCC and want to thank The Melting Pot for hosting such a great event and putting up with us!!

Did we mention the THIN MINT MARTINI??

This is what else we had to say:

We couldn't have asked for better ambiance. It was arranged that we could all sit at one long table, which was perfect... but loud, since we had to yell across the table to talk to each other (not that we aren't usually yelling anyway). Our apologies to people around us...

We were able to share 3 pots which allowed to to try all of the amazing fondue options. 

The drink specials were great for our different tastes. You see, some of us like wine, some of us like vodka, and some of us like anything that comes in a fancy glass. House red and white wine was $5, and you could "create your own martini" with a number of different flavored vodkas for $6.

A couple of us veered from the drink specials for "ol' faithful"... the dirty martini. The bartender hand stuffed bleu cheese olives and it was ohhhhhhhhhh, so good!!

We'll have another.

The food was delicious (and again- fun!!), although a few of us were thrown off by the meat being served as raw... we just threw it in the pot and ate it anyway! The endless supply of veggies, fruit, etc. to dip was perfect for all of our forks, and the numerous sauces just took the flavors to the next level! Can we drink the Mojo?

The special of the night included salad, cheese, and chocolate courses for $25 a lady, plus $9 if you wanted protein that included chicken and NY strip. While the special seemed fair, it definitely added up. In the end, we felt that the prices were a little steep, but came to the conclusion that it was more about the experience. We just can't argue that the memories and conversations of that night were PRICELESS. (again, sorry to the people around us!)

Our waitstaff was probably one of the most fabulous teams (yes, we required a team) we've had in a while. There was a Tebow look-a -like (hottest server to date!), who we convinced to "Tebow" for us, a cute bus boy with a great sense of humor, and our server (Krista?), was awesome. We are not the easiest group to deal with and she handled us with flying colors. Also thank you to the staff that comes to the table to mix the fondues- they were amazing as well. Let's just say that we totally have an appreciation for Melting Pot servers!

We were the prettiest people there. Duh.

Again, the staff was just fabulous. We want to work with them, be their friends on facebook, but if they could hurry up with our drink refill... we would make our profile picture, a picture of us!

We really enjoyed the decor. The transformable booths were really cool, and we were glad that they were able to accommodate us. The green and white balloons for the Girl Scouts were a nice touch as well. So we took pictures.

The ladies room was great and passed our inspection. Plenty of toilet paper, nice individual paper hand towels, and while a little wet; we would still consider being "those girls" and taking pictures in here.

We would have hidden in there from Twin Tebow, but didn't want to because he was hilarious!

The biggest flaw of the night would have to be the parking. The parking lot was full and most of us had to park at the hotel next door and walk. It was fine, but we were all a little shaky about being towed. Luckily all of our vehicles were safe and sound when we finally decided to let the restaurant close. (Sorry if we kept y'all late!)

Again, our experience was fabulous and don't think we would have traded it just to save a few bucks. THANK YOU again to The Melting Pot for hosting such a great event, and especially for dealing with us and our shenanigans!

(WARNING: we'll be back...)
