The Cheesecake Factory?

 

It's not what it says on the tin. Celebrities rave about it. It seems to be the in place. Celebrities such as Drake, The Kardashians and Britney Spears are among the stars that are said to love The Cheesecake Factory. But what is it about The Cheesecake Factory that people love so much?

I myself have been to The “mystical” Cheesecake Factory. Boy was I in for a huge shock when I found out that The Cheesecake Factory was in fact not a factory full of cheesecakes. I thought I was going to the best place in the world. I had Charlie and the Chocolate Factory type fantasies except it was all cheesecakes. In reality it was an overpriced and underwhelming restaurant. Now don’t get me wrong I was spoiled for choice of cheesecake, so I still walked away happy but I wish I had just gone for three courses of cheesecake.

For those of you who have no idea what I’m talking about The Cheesecake Factory operates 220 full-service restaurants in the US and around the world. My experience was in Las Vegas so I was in a fantasy bubble either way. It’s an American restaurant with a broad range of food options and a seriously long list of cheesecakes. The restaurant chain was founded by David M Overton in 1978. However it was his mother’s original idea. She began making cheesecakes and started a small store back in 1949 but gave it up to raise her kids. David’s first restaurant was set up in Beverly Hills. 

The Cheesecake Factory has had its fair share of spotlight moments. It’s biggest being its stint on The Big Bang Theory TV series. The characters Penny and Bernadette both worked there for a time and it became the gang hang out. It’s also had mentions in music and in movies. 

If you love cheesecake then you’d be mad not to go but I’d recommend just going for the cheesecake so you can try a few. Nothing worse than being stuffed after dinner and then only having room for one cheesecake from a whole cheesecake menu. If we ever get out of lockdown and are eventually allowed to travel once again I may just find myself in The Cheesecake Factory. They have some in Asia, might try new land. 

But seriously someone needs to bring me to an actual cheesecake factory though because I still haven’t fulfilled that dream.
