Melting Pot Restaurants Rolls Out New Pacific Islands Theme Menu
The Melting Pot Restaurants, a fondue restaurant chain headquartered in Tampa, Florida, has introduced a new limited-time menu featuring Pacific Islands theme dishes.
The first course of the new Pacific Islands Big Night Out is the Feng Shui Cheese Fondue, a combination of white wine, mirin (a sweetened rice wine) and sake with aged Gruyere cheese and Horseradish and Chive Havarti. The cheese fondue is followed by Lettuce Wraps with Mandarin-Orange Ginger Dressing, a blend of green leaf lettuce, sliced cucumber, carrots, bean sprouts, mint and cilantro.
The new entree course offers an assortment of meats and seafood, which includes some new dishes such as the Kiwi Lime Shrimp, Garlic Chili Chicken Breast, Sesame Crusted Teriyaki Sirloin, Citrus Infused Pork Tenderloin, Sushi Style Ahi Tuna and Spring Vegetable Dumplings.
The dessert section includes Passion Fruit Yin and Yang Fondue, which is blend of a dark chocolate combined with red passion fruit-infused white chocolate.
Shane Schaibly, chef and manager of culinary development for The Melting Pot Restaurants, said: “I was trying to think of a menu theme for the spring time using lighter fare. I took recipes that I came across when working with chefs from Hawaii and New Zealand while at the Ritz Carlton in South Florida and used them for marinades in fondues.”
The restaurant said that it invests in research and development for all of the limited-time Big Night Out menu features, which drop every six months. The restaurant tests new menu items and seeks feedback from franchisees throughout the US before introducing any new recipe.
