April 04, 2025 // Franchising.com // TAMPA, Fla. — Melting Pot is celebrating 50 years of perfect nights out with the introduction of its exclusive, limited-time Grand Reserve Cheese Fondue, available April 2-30.
Since opening its first location in 1975, Melting Pot has been the go-to destination for memorable dining experiences. Now, as the restaurant marks its golden anniversary, guests are invited to join the celebration with special menu offerings to honor this milestone.
“For 50 years, we’ve been bringing people together around the fondue pot for conversation, laughter and a truly unique, interactive dining experience,” said Melting Pot CEO Bob Johnston. “As we welcome new generations to Melting Pot, whether for special occasions, date nights or casual nights out with friends, we will continue serving up delicious fondue, shared moments and lasting memories.”
Created exclusively for Melting Pot’s golden anniversary celebration, the indulgent new Grand Reserve Cheese Fondue is made with Emmi Roth’s award-winning, Alpine-style Grand Cru® melted with sweet fontina, Swiss cheese, sherry and shallots and topped with aged cheddar cheese, candied bacon and golden chives. It is available as part of any four-course meal experience for a minimal added cost or as an a la carte option.
“We wanted to commemorate this golden brand moment with a one-of-a-kind cheese fondue that represents our dedication to culinary craftsmanship,” said Melting Pot Executive Chef Jason Miller. “This exclusive recipe was created in partnership with award-winning cheesemaker Emmi Roth, who we’ve worked with for decades, and showcases our 50 years as the premier innovator and destination for all lovers of melted cheese."
Melting Pot is also introducing the limited-time Golden Hour Cocktail with golden reposado tequila, amber honey, pineapple and sparkling ginger beer, available throughout April to give guests another way to toast to 50 years of fondue.
The celebration continues throughout the month with $50 gift card giveaways on Melting Pot social channels. Guests can post about their favorite Melting Pot memories, tagging the people they would like to join them for a Perfect Night Out, for a chance to win.
