Leah Week 8 - The Melting Pot

 I recently went to eat at “The Melting Pot” for the first time and I loved it. If you don’t know, “The Melting Pot” is a restaurant that’s near the beach in Boca. All the food is served with some kind of sauce to dip it into. For starters and main course, there are dips such as cheese and oil, and for dessert there are lots of different kinds of chocolate. 


Unfortunately, it’s a pretty expensive restaurant, so my friends and I decided to only go there for dessert. We ordered a chocolate dip that is called a Yin Yang because it is a combination of milk and dark chocolate. There were so many delicious options we were given to eat with the dip: strawberries, bananas, pineapple, oreo covered marshmallows, pound cake, brownies, and waffles. When the waiter first brought out the whole dessert, it didn’t seem like a lot, but after eating it, we were feeling so sick and bloated. It was definitely worth it though! 


Not only is the food very fancy, the actual restaurant is too. We walked through to where the tables are and saw beautiful grey curtains that covered every table. You could close the curtains or leave them open, whatever you wish. The lighting is a bright yellow in a large, dark room and you can hear the excited chatter of people and see the smoke coming from the delicious dips. The feel that you get from stepping into the restaurant and taking it all in is the same feeling you get from biting into a strawberry covered in hot, melty chocolate. 


This is definitely a really fun experience and an amazing restaurant that I would recommend. Have you been to “The Melting Pot”, and if so, what did you think of it? Did you love it as much as me, or think it’s not so great?

    I have been to the melting pot twice in my life. Both times I have been there I was very young (around 7 and 8 years old), so I don't remember much. The first time I went it was my mom's birthday, and all I remember was dipping broccoli in the cheese fondue. It was a unique and fun experience to say the least.

    I have been to the melting pot a few times. Normally I only go to dessert there, but one time I went for the full meal. I think it is very unique idea for a restaurant. I enjoy going there as well, however I have to make sure I don't eat too much in the appetizer and entree part of the meal so I can save room for dessert.

    I have never been to the melting pot, but after reading your description of the dessert you had there I am definitely going! It looks so good, is it really that expensive? I really want to go now, I keep picturing the chocolate and myself dipping all those different desserts into it, mmmmm.

      It's not too expensive if you go with friends and just for dessert, like I did.

    I have never been to the melting pot before. I do recall ever even hearing about it before this. It does actually look really good though. I think I am going to have to try it soon. That dessert looks so good. It looks like a great restaurant for a birthday dinner.

    I feel like the melting pot is extremely overrated. The food is good but its mainly about the spectacle. You pay a lot to cook the food yourself when you can do it at home for half the price.

    I have to say, as I read about the Melting Pot, I got distracted by how descriptive your writing is. I felt as if I were there with all different aromas, sounds, and sights. That was really awesome!

    I have only been to the Melting Pot once when I lived in California for one of my best friends' birthdays, and until now I always thought it was something only in California. (I didn't think the Melting Pot was a franchise)

Ben Nikpour - Week 10: Oscar Viewers are Dropping

Image
     Before a few days ago, I did not know much about the Oscars. I knew it was an award show, but besides that, I was basically clueless. It wasn’t until the Will Smith and Chris Rock situation that I spent the time to look into what the Oscars are.       For some background, the Oscars, properly known as the Academy Awards, are awarded to artists in the film industry. The first show was in May of 1929. At its peak, in 1998, the Oscars brought in over 55 million viewers; that same year was the release of one of the biggest movies of all time: Titanic. Since then, viewers have been dropping. In 2020, the Oscars had their lowest amount of viewers with only 24 million people watching the event. In 2021, the Oscars broke their 2020 record of lowest viewers by only bringing in less than 11 million people. This year the Oscars brought in close to 17 million viewers which is an improvement but not by much. Award shows like the Grammys, Emmys, Golden Globes, ...

Noah Bard Week 1 - The Misunderstanding of our Modern-Day Gladiators

   When I hear the word gladiator, I Immediately think of the Colosseum and humans being eaten by lions. However, times have changed, and so has the term gladiator. I’m talking about the sport of MMA, and more specifically, UFC fighters. Besides the few million crazed fight fans out there like myself, the current consensus about MMA is that it’s stupid. At face value, it’s a very sensible conclusion to make. Why in the world would anybody want to risk their lives on national television, or in that case at all? Well, here’s why.      Every day before that bell rings, these men and women are mastering the art of fighting. It takes much more than just supernatural athleticism; it ultimately comes down to the fighter's mental fortitude. Every slight move in the eyes, feet, and hands of your opponent must be taken into account to win. It’s a common stereotype to think that fighters aren’t very smart and not only because of what they do for a living, but oftentimes it...

Ariella Green Week 7: The Airport

  Ariella Green Week 7: The Airport      Don’t ya hate going to the airport?       I absolutely can not stand going to the airport. As I’m sure most of you know, I am very organized and like to plan out everything. When things don’t go according to the plan, it stresses me out.       Thursday morning, I assumed I would have an easy experience flying from PBI to JFK on JetBlue airlines. Little did I know, there would be many little bumps along the way that I had to deal with while trying to catch my flight.       First, we arrive at the airport at around 10:30 for our 11:45 flight. I personally believe that you should always give yourself enough time at the airport, so you don’t have to rush at the gate or if you want to make a purchase. We also had to face the challenge of finding somewhere to park, which is nearly impossible sometimes. After searching for a while, we found...
