Nation's Largest Fondue Restaurant Recognizes

SACRAMENTO (Wednesday, November 30, 2005) - The Melting Pot Restaurants Inc., the nation's largest fondue restaurant
franchise, recognized The Melting Pot of Sacramento as Franchise of the
Year during its annual meeting held last week at The Peabody Hotel in
Memphis, Tenn. The Sacramento restaurant, located at 814 15th St.,
opened in 2003 and is locally owned and operated by Michael Frampton.

"We're extremely honored to be recognized in such a relatively short
time. It's a testament that our entire staff came together quickly to form a strong team," said Michael Frampton, owner of The Melting Pot of
Sacramento. "With everyone's hard work and dedication, we'll make it our
goal to win again next year!"

Bob Johnston, president and COO of The Melting Pot, said, "The team in Sacramento embodies the true mission, vision and principles of The
Melting Pot. Throughout 2005, they made a sincere commitment to total
guest satisfaction and were rewarded not only with this recognition, but
also with increased sales and guest counts. Congratulations to the
entire Sacramento team."

With more than 90 locations nationwide, each Melting Pot franchise was
judged on the following criteria: mystery diner scores, quality
certification scores, overall marketing assessments, distribution
program usage, franchise administration status, and support of The
Melting Pot's core mission, vision and principles.

"Sacramento rose above the rest by becoming extremely committed to their local community. Their team was out all year long promoting their
restaurant, partnering with important local charities and becoming
involved community members," said Kendra Sartor, national director of
franchise marketing for The Melting Pot. "They have an extremely
talented staff in place, they understand the importance of grassroots
marketing, and I am certain they will push hard through 2006 to win this
award again."
