Robert Martinez Tequila Don Julio expert
Tequila Recipes and the excitement of Cinco de Mayo. Our logic is simple. To create a sublime and subtle tequila you must perfect and cherish every aspect of each step along the way: from the cultivation of the agave plant to the barrels the tequila is aged in. It is not a process that can be performed by machines. Each step requires the skilled and practiced hands of people trained in the art and craft of tequila. This is what sets Tequila Don Julio apart. This is what makes the world’s finest tequila
Christena Pinkerton - Melting Pot Pasadena, CA
Fondue is a fun and interactive dining experience - and for more than three decades, The Melting Pot has defined the niche across the American dining scene. The first Melting Pot opened in April of 1975 in Maitland, Fla. - just outside of Orlando. It was a cozy, quaint location and its first menu consisted of just three items: Swiss cheese fondue, beef fondue and a chocolate fondue dessert. However, as the restaurant's popularity expanded, so did its menu and ambiance. Today, with more than 142 locations across 37 states and The District of Columbia and with more than 28 locations under development, The Melting Pot Restaurants Inc. is the country's premier fondue restaurant franchise. The Melting Pot is also proud to announce that it is coming to Canada! The first Canadian location is scheduled to open in Edmonton, Alberta in early 2010. The Melting Pot Restaurants will also be developed in Calgary, Alberta and Vancouver, British Columbia. Canada marks the first International market for the Melting Pot – stay tuned for updates on the The Melting Pot brand going global!
