| | Esquire:Food & Drinks:Recipe Database:Cheese Fondue with Sausage |
 | | The tables are preset with fondue pots, baskets of bread and platters of sausage, all ready to be dipped, and the place is packed, a result of printing the phrase "open bar" right on the invitation (and, of course, the lure of all that melted cheese). |
 | | That kitschy '70s identity still defines fondue for most Americans, making it seem like a campy thinguntil you discover fondue is an easy way to informally feed a small group, particularly if you'd rather spend time at the table with your guests instead of in the kitchen. |
