Work

So I work at The Melting Pot and I'm surprised more and more every day with how many people are loving that we offer so many gluten-free options. I'm still working on my owners to get gluten-free bread and batter options (for the oil cooking styles), but corporate wide, all cooking styles are now gluten-free. They are looking into gluten-free teriyaki for the sirloin and the sauce used for dipping. Once I know more, of course I'll keep ya'll posted- especially now that we are done with Vday and I have a little more time!

The Melting Pot

So for Mother's Day this year, we went to The Melting Pot. It's become a favorite for us and celebrating events. Last year, my birthday, this year, Mother's Day, and who knows from there. Anyway, since we hadn't been there since being gluten-free, I was nervous, but while making the reservation, I asked and they said it was possible. I was super excited. We had this great server named Michelle who made sure that everything was perfect for the gluten-free fondue night. Since we had one burner, we all did the oil and did a Big Night out and a half, since it was three of us. We did cheese with corn startch instead of flour. She made sure that instead of ravioli, there was extra meets and that with the batters, mom and dad couldn't use them until I was done cooking. And chocolate, well, we use to Cookies and Cream, Marshmallow Dream, but can't any more, but we did anyway and had the cookies on the side. I had my own platter with regular marshmallows, extra strawberries and loved it! I couldn't believe that such a high end restuarant had gluten-free accomodations and didn't seem bothered. I can only imagine that it's extra work. The night was lovely and wonderful and I grabbed a job application on the way out! We'll see! (x-posted in gypsy)
