| - I'm a huge supporter of the cheesecake industry in general, and The Cheesecake Factory has like 40 or so different varieties of cheesecakes so you're bound to find, like, at least one variety that suits your cheesecake needs. One caveat: The original plain slice of cheesecake will run you 870 calories (cherry cheesecake is 1100 or so) and that's compared to the 1300 calorie Ceasar salad. So if you're looking to eat healthy, order the cheesecake. They offer warm bread upon request, but you won't know how many calories you are consuming, it's not gluten free, and the butter is served in cold foil wrapped rectangles. I suggest they serve the butter room temp as it made the bread get cold when I prefer my bread warm. That said, I don't go to the Cheesecake Factory for it's high caloric menu of appetizers and entrées; I go for the cheesecake. The decor is oddly Egyptian and online I've read others remark that their lighting motif looks like the Eye of Sauron (Lord of the Rings reference for those who don't know).
They also have locations overseas, including Saudi Arabia, and I'm not saying the CF is supporting oppressive laws against women but what I am saying is Saudia Arabia and Egypt have an uneasy relationship; And CF being in SA makes me feel somewhat uneasy. And in SA they don't serve alcohol, which is sad because another reason I go to CF is to indulge in fine adult beverages. And yes, you can eat cheesecake at the bar. I highly suggest The Cheesecake Factory because if you get cheesecake anywhere else it probably won't include a menu providing transparent information about calories, or if some item can be made gluten free, or that 2,000 calories is the recommended daily calorie intake (and some CF menu items go above and beyond that goal). So go here, get some cheesecake!
