MELTING POT – French
Just off I-295, around the corner from St Johns Town Center, dinner here is something you do rather than something handed to you. Burners come up and a pot of Classic Alpine or Wisconsin Cheddar lands with artisan bread, fruit and veggies for dipping. Salads follow, then entrees you cook yourself — teriyaki steak, herb chicken, shrimp, Memphis dry-rub pork — in Coq au Vin broth, court bouillon, or on the tabletop grill. Dessert is chocolate, from The Original to Flaming Turtle flambeed beside you. Guests reliably credit the servers, who steer first-timers through the whole sequence. Slow food, in the best sense.
