I know this is a very old post, however I’ve experienced both fondue cooking and the cook n dine table; the table is much easier than the fondue cooking. When I cook fondue style, you loose the food in the broth or cheese and have to do a search and rescue. The table is fun and the food taste great, and it’s not messy. This may not be for everyone, but it is a lot of fun if you’re looking for a great interactive experience.

Duane: I get what you’re asking, and I guess my personal answer is that I would not go to a restaurant for this type of experience. I’ve been to fondue restaurants a couple of times, and this would seem to be roughly analogous, as your guests would presumably be cooking their own food. But since this lacks the simplicity of fondue, I’m not sure it would be a big hit. On the other hand, if you’re sitting at the table cooking for them, maybe they wouldn’t get the privacy they’d have at a regular restaurant. Just my two cents.

Dear Geeky, I understand your pros and cons but let me ask you this. Would this be a type of dining experience you would go to a restaurant for? I have a B & B and am looking for some type of different swist in dining. This allows conversation and personal entertainment amongst friends,thus giving it a close personal touch but yet a “night out”. Give me some thoughts Thanks, Duane
