A Little About Me

My name is Tony Zhao and here's a little bit about my life. I was born in Urumqi, China and moved to the United States when I was 3 years old. I grew up in Burlington, Massachusetts, which is about 20 minutes outside of Boston. College isn't too far away from home as I am a third year student at Northeastern University studying Finance. My first co-op at John Hancock Financial recently ended and I am in the process of looking for my second.

A Day in the Life of a Melting Pot Employee

As you may have noticed in my resume that is attached, I have spent two years working at The Melting Pot. If you don't know what that is, its a nation wide chain restaurant serving many different kinds of delicious fondues such as cheese and chocolate. The best part about eating at the Melting Pot is the actual experience for the customers. The following video is part of the chocolate fondue presentation.


Anyways, here is a typical four course dinner at the Melting Pot. 

Course 1 - Cheese

Queso Fundido
A fondue version of the classic Mexican dish combining Fontina, Gruyere, and Gran Queso cheeses, fresh jalapenos, crumbled Chorizo and a hint of fresh lime

Course 2 - Salad

Shrimp Ceviche Salad
A refreshing blend of citrus-marinated shrimp atop avocado puree and tortilla chips served with tropical fruit pico de gallo and a side of mixed greens tossed with a lime vinaigrette

Course 3 - Entree

Fondue Fusion
Cold-Water Lobster Tail, Filet Mignon, Chimichurry Sirloin, Garlic Piri Piri Shrimp, Mole-Marinated Chicken Breast, Citrus-Marinated Pork Tenderloin, Fire-Roasted Corn Salsa Ravioli

Course 4 - Chocolate 

Dark and Dulce Chocolate Fondue
Classic flavor combination featuring our bittersweet dark chocolate and sweet, thick dulce de leche accented with coarse sea salt
