My wife Katherine and I moved to Durham in 2006 to begin construction on "our" Melting Pot. We first found the Melting Pot while we were living in Tucson, Arizona. I will admit that I complained for the entire thirty minute drive to the restaurant that first night. I had no idea what fondue was but I was convinced I would not like it. We both ended up falling in love with the concept that first night and for the next five years it was our favorite place to eat. We invited everyone we knew to eat with us at the Melting Pot at some point.
Two months after we signed our franchise agreement in 2005, we found out that we were having twins. Katherine was six months pregnant when we made the cross country drive to Durham, and when we opened our doors on February 7th, 2007, Ty and Lexi, were six months old. In the early days they could be found sleeping in the office while Katherine and I were working. The kids no longer sleep in the office, but you will see them helping out in the restaurant on holidays and they even shovel snow in the winter.
Thank you for taking the time to learn a little bit about us. Katherine and I truly love operating our Melting Pot and being a part of so many of our guest's special occasions. We take our obligation to provide an exceptional dining experience very seriously and when we fail to deliver on our obligation we will always make it right- Guaranteed!!. You can email me (Dan) directly at durhammeltingpot@gmail.com.
