    so, the takeaway is that i can go to the melting pot, order a meal, eat the whole thing and be at or below 700 cals?

    awesome!

    seriously. i've never been there, but it's on the todo list.

    DO IT. it's my favorite place to go. you'll have never been so full of delicious food.

    NO!

    You can do whatever you want.....they have a "skinny" menu for 700 cals....but it's a chain restaurant, that sums up the 11 pages of this topic

    Go Skinny Dipping at The Melting Pot
    JAN 1ST-MARCH 31ST, 2013
    Kick off your New Year's resolution with our new Skinny Dipping menu. Try our three-course limited-time Skinny Dipping menu featuring salad, an entree, and dark chocolate fondue for under 700 calories! Price is $22 per person. Compliment your light fondue with one of our hand-crafted skinny cocktails featuring Voli Light Vodka.

    This is FAR from $150...just sayin'! :drinker:

    The same "Skinny Dipping" special at the one where I live starts at $24.95 per person, so it must be a little different depending on the each market
    This is the "Valentines Special" ad for the one in my area too....its a bigger meal, but pretty pricey!

    "Nothing says romance like The Melting Pot! We are featuring a five-course special menu for $79.99 per person. Space is limited, so please call soon for reservations. We are also featuring this special menu on Friday and Saturday for $59.99 per person."

    Melting Pot is the worst meat and seafood in town. So when you say "no crap in their food" what do you mean exactly?
    It's a chain. It's factory farmed meat and seafood that's not sustainably caught. It's $150 for TWO PEOPLE TO HAVE DINNER. How is this even remotely a good idea?
    ^ carries mean and condescending tone
    Just support a small family owned restaurant and a farm to table restaurant if you want to know where your food comes from.
    ^ telling others what to do/giving unsolicited advice


    Both will put people on the defense in a public forum (and in real life in many cases).

    I also support eating and purchasing local meats, etc., but I would never respond to a stranger posting about a special offer at a favorite establishment by blasting the said establishment's food supply choices. I do not see the point.

    It reminds me of once, how I was discussing maybe going to the circus that had just come into town, and my co-worker had the nerve to say, "Why would you go to the circus? Don't you know how they treat the elephants?" Then he went on and on about the elephants and trainers, etc., etc., etc. I did not appreciate that at all and it made me want to stop sharing things with him.

    OP, thank you for posting. Would love to check it out. I've been to MP quite a few times and always enjoy it...and the seafood and meat always tastes great to me.

    Wow, you get that much voice inflection and intent from words on a computer screen? Sensitive much?

    This is the internet and it is just words on a screen. You can not tell what someone's intent saying mean and condescending tone.......

    There is no tone with words spelled out on a screen. Seriously, that makes me LOL that someone says their tone is mean or condescending.............:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: People, it words on a screen.

    I don't see where there is a need to interpret any tone in that comment. They were flat out saying rude/mean things.

    So onesnap, you're saying you wouldn't go to TMP because it's expensive and the food is factory farmed? Just want to make sure I have that correct- you haven't been quite clear enough :wink:

    I agree it's a lot of money to cook your own food- but thanks for sharing this information for those who do like to go!!

    Serious question-

    How many dollars does it cost for two people to have dinner at the melting pot?

    Thanks.

    Hey Posters,

    I wanted to offer a brief explanation for the locking of this thread.

    When the community does not allow for objective responses the topic will become as a whole, divisive. When polarization of this kind happens topics will almost always be locked. The original poster has received a significant amount of feedback and the conversations can continue via personal messaging or within a group.

    I want to take this opportunity to respectfully remind that folks that our community guidelines include:
    2. No Hi-Jacking, Trolling, or Flame-baiting

    Please stay on-topic within a forum topic. Off-topic or derogatory remarks are disrespectful. Please either contribute politely and constructively to a topic, or move on without posting. This includes posts that encourage the drama in a topic to escalate, or posts intended to incite an uproar from the community.

    Thank you for your understanding and help in keeping MFP a supportive, friendly community.

    Respectfully,
    Olivia
