"This chain of fondue spots operates a downtown Portland location, where couples on dates and groups of teens on prom night dunk bread and fruit in pots of molten cheese. After a birthday dinner, customers of the Melting Pot can get a complimentary box of six chocolate-covered strawberries. A purchase is required, and there’s a limit of one box per table (sorry, twins). Sign up with Club Fondue (essentially the Melting Pot mailing list), and let the team know 24 hours prior to the reservation if you’re coming in for a birthday." - Janelle Lassalle
