Fondue dipping sauces with fondue dinner

One of my favorite dining experiences is fondue. I love going to the Melting Pot I have since I was in high school but it can be expensive. Doing fondue at home is a bit of a process if you make the sauces from scratch but the rest of the process is very easy.
There is an endless combinations of flavors for broth, proteins and vegetables. This post is for my go to core in the future I will post additional thoughts and ideas on how to do fondue!
