Fondue is a ubiquitous staple of Swiss culture, matched only by neutrality, foldout fish scalers, and the world’s most easily cartoonified cheese. Dip in to a mouthwatering melting pot with today’s Groupon: for $25, you get a cheese and chocolate fondue experience for up to four at Simply Fondue Queens in Glendale (a $58 value). The fondue experience includes:

• Any full pot of cheese fondue (an $18 value)
• Chocolate fondue for four (a $40 value)<p><p>

Furnished with leather seating, marble-top tables, and scads of heavy drapery, Simply Fondue Queens oozes elegance even before its pots of gooey gourmand fodder enter the picture. Rich and decadent cheese pots headline the menu, with each accompanied by an entourage of fresh bread, vegetables, and fruit to carry the sumptuous substance to the lips without the need for industrial-strength krazy straws. The delectable dips hail from all over the world, from the Mediterranean sharp cheddar’s beer, basil pesto, garlic, and sun-dried tomatoes to the Traditional Swiss Chalet’s blend of imported gruyère and emmental cheeses stirred together by the head chef’s left ski. Bid dinner a sweet adieu with chocolate fondue, as flambéed flames subside to reveal molten cocoa ready to coat sweet treats including fluffy pound cake, juicy strawberries, and chocolate-chip cookie dough.
