Fondue anyone?

Strictly speaking, this would be Raclette (but where's the 'taters ?)

Raclette is a dish indigenous to parts of Switzerland, Wallonia and France. The cheese round is heated, either in front of a fire (emphasis mine) or by a special machine, then scraped onto diners' plates; the term raclette derives from the French racler, meaning "to scrape". Traditionally, it is accompanied by small firm potatoes (Bintje, Charlotte or Raclette varieties), gherkins, pickled onions, dried meats (such as prosciutto and viande des Grisons), sliced peppers, tomato, onion, mushrooms, pears, and dusted with paprika and fresh-ground black pepper.
In the Swiss canton of Valais, raclette is typically eaten with tea or other warm beverages, or with a type of white wine called Fendant, made from the Chasselas grape. Drinking water along with your raclette is said to interfere with the digestion of the cheese, although this is likely an "old wives' tale" as there is no scientific basis for this. It is normally accompanied by a white wine, such as the traditional Savoie wine, a Riesling or a Pinot Gris.
Raclette was mentioned in medieval writings as a particularly nutritious meal consumed by peasants in mountainous Switzerland. It was then known in the German-speaking part of Switzerland as Bratchäs, or "roasted cheese." Traditionally, the Swiss cow herders used to take the cheese with them when they were moving cows to or from the pastures up in the mountains. In the evenings around the campfire, they would place the cheese next to the fire and, when it had reached the perfect softness, scrape it on top of some bread.
A modern way of serving raclette involves an electric table-top grill with small 'pans' to heat slices of raclette cheese in.

I had pictured a great yellow sea of melted goo flowing from the truck.

Im somewhat disappointed.

Ditto. A pile of damp boxes is quite the let down.

But the fire was good & impressive.

No doubt had it been a velveeta truck, they'd still be wiping up the orange goo.

I opted to pass on the video to retain my false vision of a massive cheese lava flow
