Another Glorious Meal At Melting Pot

Hi All,

I eat out so seldom now that when I have a fabulous meal I just have to come on here and spread the news. Previously I had posted about a great meal I had at the Denver Littleton location. This time I tried the Melting Pot in Louisville CO. They didn't have the bread and baked goods that the other did but they still did an awesome job. Here is what I had.

Their specialty fondue with dates, garlic, shallots and some white cheeses. I had the apple and veggies to dip in the cheese.

Their spinach mushroom salad without dressing (but I dribbled some cheese on it as dressing).

Their chicken and veggie meal with water and a vegetable mulch to cook it in.

Their chocolate raspberry fondue with strawberries, bananas, marshmallows and cherries for dipping.

They had a way to work around their gluten ingredients to make just about anything gluten free. They also said if I told them in advance that I needed gluten free they could have the gluten free bread, brownies, shortcake etc. that I had at my previous meal.

Cheers!

Michelle

Hmmm, there's a Melting Pot in Chicago. Next time I'm in the neighborhood, I'll give them a try! Thanks for the tip!

That is so cool Michelle! I keep meaning to go but haven't made it there yet. I am so glad to hear that the closer location was easy to work with! :)

That's very exciting. I always thought that sounded like a fun place to eat. I have sent a message to our local Melting Pot to see if they can accomodate us here. I'm crossing my fingers.

Thanks!

Hi all, I hope you have as good of an experience as I did. They had a print out of all the sauces, ingredients, items etc that contained gluten, msg or nuts. They also have apparently started crusting their marshmallows with cookie crumbs because someone caught theirs on fire and threw it across the room, hitting someone else in the face. Just ask them to open a fresh bag and give you uncrusted ones.

Cheers!

Michelle

I also had a great experience this past weekend at a Melting Pot in Virginia. We called ahead, and they told my husband it was no problem. The server assigned to us had dealt with a previous customer with a wheat allergy and was experienced with what to do. She brought me some corn tortilla chips that they usually only serve with the mexican cheese fondue. With those chips, I didn't even miss the bread. The most pleasing part of the experience was even though they were so throrough about double checking everything, they were so matter-of-fact about it. I didn't feel like I was imposing. I'm very new to this, and often feel weird about asking restaurants about all this stuff. I actually took the time to fill out the survey at their website and praised the restaurant and our server.

I checked wit our local Melting Pot and got a very positive response. They said when I call to make reservations, just let them know about needing a gluten-free menu, and they will be sure to have one when we get there! Woohoo!

Thanks for the info. I never would have thought about checking there. Sauces usually scare me.

      High blood test numbers - with scales. Any advice?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I agree with @RMJ, you have multiple positive tests so celiac disease is likely.  This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease.

      Newly gluten free… withdrawal?

      By trents · Posted

      One small study found that 50% of celiacs react to the dairy protein "casein" like they do to gluten. It is also common for celiacs to be lactose (the sugar in milk) intolerant, though that often disappears in time as the villi heal. About 10% of celiacs react to the oat protein "avenin" like they do gluten.

      Newly gluten free… withdrawal?

      By K6315 · Posted

      Thank you so much Trents (Scott?)! I have started working with a dietitian and did a deep research dive as soon as I got the diagnosis. I am aware of what you mentioned in the first two paragraphs, and was not aware of anything in the third, so I am grateful for that information, and will talk to the dietitian about that. I think I was most interested in the withdrawal process - it gives me hope that, although I have felt unwell recently, I just need to be patient (not a strong suit). I have printed the article you sent and will look at it more closely. Thanks again!

      Newly gluten free… withdrawal?

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @K6315! Gluten withdrawal typically lasts for a period of a few weeks. But there is a real learning curve involved in actually attaining to a gluten free dietary state. Much more is involved than just cutting out major sources of gluten such as bread and pasta. It's all the places that gluten is hidden in the food supply that is difficult to ferret out, like soy sauce and canned tomato soup, canned chili and canned pork n' beans, some "lite" pancake syrups, potato salad, flavorings, etc., etc. Gluten-containing grain products are hidden through alternate terminology and found in places you would never expect.  There is also "cross contamination" where naturally gluten free foods come into contact with gluten-containing grains during farming, transportation, storage and manufacturing processes. Then there is the issue of "cross reactivity" whereby you may be having gluten-like reaction to food proteins whose structure is similar to gluten. Chief among these are dairy, oats (even gluten-free oats), soy, corn and eggs. I am including this article that you might find helpful:
