Fondue for the Family: The Melting Pot Suggests Quality Time on Mother`s Day

TAMPA, Fla.--(Business Wire)--
This Mother`s Day, a meal at The Melting Pot (http://www.meltingpot.com) fondue
restaurants gives moms what they really want: stress-free, quality family time
and delicious food without the hassle of a messy kitchen.

With a slow-paced, cook-your-own dining style, The Melting Pot offers a
relaxing, family-friendly venue for a Mother`s Day family gathering.

"Quality time with her family is one of the best gifts a mom can receive," says
Kendra Shier, vice president of brand development for The Melting Pot.
"Considering how busy most families are with their everyday lives, we want to
give moms the opportunity to slow down, talk with their families and just enjoy
spending time together."

Lasting approximately two hours, the meal allows for plenty of interaction and
conversation during four courses - a salad plus cheese, entrée and chocolate
dessert fondues. The menu also offers nutritious dippers like fruits and
veggies, breads, meats and seafood, which make healthier eating something even
kids can enjoy.

"Fondue just encourages interaction," adds Shier. "And for once, people of all
ages, including moms and dads, are actually encouraged to play with their food."
