re: Raclette NYC (melted cheese)

That looks pretty awesome. When I was in Rio a few years back for work, we ate a late night meal and they brought out what looked like thick tortilla chips and a bowl full of diced beef fajitas. Then they brought over this mini cheese block with a warmer above and scraped it off right onto the chips, and dumped the meat on top.

Not what the dish is called but it was killer. Super salty though. I presume their cheese melter was some kind of raclette, however at that time I'd never heard of a raclette.
