Cheese Dogs Remix

That charming charity, PAWS, is bringing back their Melting Pot benefit event. I wrote about this event last year and wrote a silly poem about the good they do. They find homes for our fuzzy homeless neighbors, and you can help 'em do it!

You can take part on Thursday, April 28th from 5-10pm. It's a prix fixe dinner including appetizer, salad, entree and dessert for $45 per good-deed-do-er. For every lover-ly dinner diner, the Melting Pot will donate ten bucks to PAWS.

Be sure to order from the prix fixe menu. The group's website characterizes your fab dining options as follows:

- Cheese Fondues: Carnivale Cheddar or Queso Fundido (served with breads, apples and fresh vegetables)

- Salad: Shrimp Cerviche or Spinach Mushroom

- Entree: Filet Mignon, Cimichurri Sirloin, Garlic Piri Piri Shrimp, Mole-Marinated Chicken, Citrus-Marinated Pork Tenderloin, Fire-Roasted-Corn Salsa Ravioli (served with fresh vegetables and dipping sauces) Vegetarian Option Available

- Chocolate Fondues: Dark and Dulce Chocolate or Caramel Nut Milk (served with Fresh Fruits and Cakes)

DO make reservations by calling the Melting Pot at (203) 656-4774 or booking online.

Not into melty cheesy goodness? You can help with a donation by visiting the PAWS site.
