Cheesecake Fondue Therapy

Yes. You heard me.

Cheesecake Fondue. It is the most amazing dessert I have tasted in years. It is also the perfect way to end a Saturday evening after a week of craziness. It's therapy.

I didn't know what it was until it presented itself to me. I thought that they threw half a cheesecake into a melting pot, turned up the heat and voila. Fondue. Well, that's partially correct I guess considering they don't throw in the crust along with the cheese portion.

On a Saturday that made me want to mix drinks from "Irish Car Bombs" http://www.cocktail.com/recipes/i/IrishCarBomb.htm to Riesling, I ended up asking the waitress for a couple of glasses of water to wash down the dessert that I was about to devour.

I love fruits, but not as much as the bad stuff - cookies, chocolates etc.

What a dream come true. The silvery fondue pot was placed on a tray. On the tray:

1. Oreos
2. Vanilla Wafers
3. Marshmallows
4. Graham Crackers

Oh, and strawberries.

Prior to this dessertful enagagement, my friend Sharon and I had just eaten the best guacamole in New York on top of stuffing ourselves with Shrimp Empanadas, Shrimp Pancakes, and Mexican Barbeque Ribs at Dos Caminos http://www.brguestrestaurants.com/restaurants/dos_caminos_park/index.php. We told ourselves that we were just going to drink after that. True to form, we ended up not drinking (after she had bought me a kamikaze shot http://cocktails.about.com/od/atozcocktailrecipes/r/kmkze_cktl.htm thinking it would keep me awake for the next hour), and started attacking a fondue dish good for three people (we eventually met up with 5 other friends who barely touched the fondue).


If you're in town, drop by Dip. Cheesecake Fondue. I'm telling you, it's sinful beyond evil.
