February 2013: Sixth Annual Fondue Month is 28 Days with 28 Heartwarming Fondues

    NEW YORK, NY, February 01, 2013 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Welcome to the world of fondue. This beloved meal may be the national dish of Switzerland, but it is Chef Terrance Brennan, who holds the title for creating the world's largest cheese fondue in the Guinness Book of World Records on the TODAY Show in 2007, conceived February as Fondue Month, 28 days, 28 heartwarming fondues will be served exclusively at Artisanal.

During the Sixth Annual Fondue Month, Artisanal is featuring a different special fondue each day with many creations that are unique to this once-in-a-year experience. These unique interactive meals include Artisanal cheeses which reflect a range of holidays in the month of February.

The fondue experience is more than just about the food. Everyone can participate in this communal meal, which makes it perfect for bringing together family and friends sharing in conversation and food. Celebrity Chef Mario Batali enjoys fondue at Artisanal Bistro every Valentine's Day with his family. He says, "Artisanal means Valentine's Day for the Batalis. We don't want faux romantic luxury, we want the real deal. We share a classic cheese fondue then follow-up with a chocolate fondue for dessert. Simple, convivial, and delicious."

In honor of Fondue Month, on Tuesday, February 26th, 2013, Time in Children's Arts Initiative program, Share Our Strength and Artisanal Bistro will be hosting 50 students from P.S. 30 Hernandez/Hughes in East Harlem to experience this timeless culinary happening.

Your meal during this special month is also a chance to give back, 10% of the proceeds from the daily fondue special will be donated to Share Our Strength #NoKidHungry.
