- (groans) I'm really having a hard time all of a sudden.
I've hit a wall. - I've hit a wall.
- I've hit a wall, big time. - Hit a big wall.
- Unlike any other Gut Check we've done,
like it's just slow, it's slowly sliding down my throat.
(energetic music)
- Good Mythical Morning.
- If you've ever had a craving for cheesecake
and wanted to choose between an entire factory of options.
Well you're in luck, because that is the mission
of the Cheesecake Factory.
It's also our mission today.
- Yes.
- Uh, besides the cheesecake, which we're both very fond of,
uh, and very excited to taste all of them.
What, what else do you like about the Cheesecake Factory?
- Oh, uh, so many things.
Uh, the bathrooms are nice.
- The bathrooms are nice.
- Like they're nicer than you would think they're gonna be.
- I mean, the decor everywhere is nice.
But, the best is really the bathrooms.
- Did you have to do this?
Did you have to go this far?
You didn't have to do this.
- You didn't, you went really out of your way, C, CF
- (laughs) You're trying to come up with an acronym,
and it's just CF.
- (laughs) Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Where did I get the-
- Cheesecake Factory.
- I thought that, I thought the-
- CF.
All right we're bringing the Cheesecake Factory to us today.
Specifically every single cheesecake from the Factory,
will be entering our bodies.
Unbuckle your belt, its time for Gut Check,
the Cheesecake Factory addition.
- So we called the headquarters of CF (laughs)
and uh, we found out that they have
34 different flavors of cheesecake.
Now they also have some seasonal, regional flavors.
They've got low-carb cheesecakes.
We ain't gonna mess with that.
(Link babbles)
- We're just gonna be tasting 34 core flavors of cheesecake,
Okay?
- And then we're going to instantaneously rate them
on a scale of one to 100 using a very scientific,
initial gut reaction, which will bring us to the final four,
which we'll give a second tasting.
- Yeah, once we have the four, we do the closer inspection.
Determine the final winner who will receive
the coveted golden cake server.
- Ooh.
- Okay Stevie, are we ready to have some cake?
- (Stevie) Yes, but before we begin
this is going to be quite a lot of cheesecake
so to help you cleanse your palates
you each have a glass of wine.
- Aww (speaks in foreign language).
- [Stevie] You're welcome.
- I can't, I can't do that wine swirl with that hand.
Now this is, this is gonna be tough.
- Oh yeah, some, you know what, this is a tough job.
- I'm looking over here, no, I just mean,
its going to be difficult to not rank anything below 50.
I gotta spread out my scale.
- Our scales are different, I will say that.
- I like all of these.
- I, I will, I'm in the same place.
- Except for a few smaller exceptions.
- And I'll explain, my scale...
I know its a little different than your scale.
People talk about how our scales are different.
You have a lot of range on your scale.
Might be a 100, it might be a zero.
- Yeah.
- If I like something, it's not going to get less than a 50
so I'm not, so basically, probably all these cheesecakes
are probably gonna have something so they might get down
into the 30s and 40s if they're horrible
but I'm never going to a 10 because that would be like-
- Use your scale, man!
- No, that would some, that would be like you tried to
poison me with cheesecake.
You know what I'm saying?
So I'm in the 70s, 80s, and 90s most of the time
because I'm having a good time the whole time.
- Hmmm.
- [Stevie] Okay, I think we all know how this works.
- I'm gonna try to send my scale further that way
so its the same.
- You don't have, do what, you do you, man.
- Well then that weights what I like weightier than yours
I think and I don't want to do that so I'm gonna move it.
- [Stevie] The first category is chocolate,
which includes any type of cheesecake that has chocolate.
And we begin with
30th Anniversary Chocolate Cake cheesecake.
- Well what's in that?
- It's cheesecake and chocolate,
and well, 71, it's good.
- 60, nothing jumped out.
- Chocolate Caramelicious cheesecake made with Snickers.
- Mmmm.
- That got better, 77.
- Mmm hmm, 69.

- Not a huge fan of hazelnuts, I'm sorry.
- Nuh uh.
- 58.
- Hmmm. 21

- Mmmm, oh, that goes down easy, doesn't it?
- Hmm hmm, silky smooth.
- Flavor is good, 75.
- Hmmm, 71.
- [Stevie] Chocolate Tuxedo Cream cheesecake.

- Oh this is Oreo.
Oreo is kinda boring.
- 72.
- Hmmm, uh,
58.
- [Stevie] Reese's Peanut Butter Chocolate-
- No.
- [Stevie] Cake cheesecake.
- Mmm hmm, mmmm.
- That's very good.
- Hmmm.
- The nuts, I could do without the additional nuts
because I've already got the peanut butter but-
- Whoo that's rich.
- It's very good, I mean, I'm gonna,
I might give that an 82.
- 88.
- [Stevie] Toasted Marshmallows S'mores Galore
with Hershey's and Honey Maid.
- Mmm.
- I feel like s'mores are best served as s'mores.
Uhhh, I like and I'm enjoying it, 73.
- 60, even.
- [Stevie] White Chocolate Caramel Macadamia Nut cheesecake.
- Oh.
- Mmmm hmm.
- My wife will order this one.
- I'll order this one.
- That's very, very solid.
- And you, not, not too rich.
- 81.
- 90.
- [Stevie] Adam's Peanut Butter Cup Fudge Ripple.
- Oh, what's happening?
- That's got some peanut butter in it.
- But the peanut butter doesn't hit quite as hard as Reese's
but in a good way.
It, it's magnanimous.
- I'm hovering around the 80s for a lot of them.
That's 83, I really like that.
I like the way that, that the peanut butter enter my mouth.
- 91.
- What?
- Yeah, I like it better than the Reese's.
- [Stevie] Caramel Pecan Turtle cheesecake.
- Oh goodness.
Time to slow my roll a little bit.
- This is the worst one so far.
- Yeah, I'm not liking this.
- I'm going to 46.
- Uhhh, I'm going for 46.
(Rhett laughs)
- [Stevie] Chocolate Chip Cookie-Dough cheesecake.
- Oh.
- It almost like canceled the cheesecake out, 65.
- I like it more than you do, 75.
- [Stevie] And that concludes our chocolate category
so please take some sippy sips before we proceed.
- Oh this does help.
- [Stevie] To our fruit category.
- Fruity.
- And that contains cheesecakes that have, you guessed it,
fruit, majority fruit, majority fruit rules.
- Majority fruit.
- [Stevie] Starting with Key Lime cheesecake.
- Oh I love key lime.
- (groans) Nah.
- I'm a big fan of this.
This is, I get this, 90.
- (gags) 20, two, zero.
- [Stevie] Caramel Apple cheesecake.
- 85, it's so, it's solid.
- Ummm.
- It's like an app...
I just, there is something about-
- 68.
- cheesecake and fruit
that works, man.
- [Stevie] Fresh Banana Cream cheesecake.
- Kinda like nanner pudding.
- I like what they've done here, 83.
- Uhhh, 59, I'm being generous.
- [Stevie] White Chocolate Raspberry Truffle.
- Oh yeah.
- Raspberry is just a champion on a cheesecake.
- There is a lot happening here.
- Mmm hmm.
- And I'm in love with most of it.
- Oh yeah, me too.
- Ummm, 84.
- 86.
- [Stevie] Lemon Meringue cheesecake.
- Mmmm.
- You don't like the citrus.
- Nope.
- You're not a citrus man.
- I think that's what it is.
That, that is my (indistinct) that I don't like in fruit.
- I like the way it adds even a little more bite to it.
- It doesn't seem like dessert anymore,
it seems like I'm eating cleaner.
- Not as good as the key lime, 75.
- Hmmm.
24.
- [Stevie] Lemon Raspberry Cream cheesecake.
- The raspberry is helping.
- It doesn't matter what I say
cause he's gonna score it low.
100, who cares?
Who gives a crap?
- I gotta go to zero, I don't want this to go anywhere.
I'm a go with 34.
- [Stevie] Mango Key Lime cheesecake.
- Ooh, you got the key lime but then it takes a little bit
of the edge off and gives you a little, a little mango.
- Wow, I'm on an island vacation.
- Ooh, I, 88.
- I mean this is surprising to me,
raising the eyebrows, I'm a 71.
- Huh.
- [Stevie] Pumpkin cheesecake.
- Okay.
- Hmmm.
- Not a huge fan of pumpkin in my cheesecake.
- But I like pumpkin pie.
- Uh, 57.
- Uh, 68.
- [Stevie] Pumpkin Pecan cheesecake.
- Really?
- Not a huge fan of pumpkin in my cheesecake.
- I like the other one better.
- 57.
- 50.
- [Stevie] Fresh Strawberry.
- Ooh, okay.
- Classic.
- It's just simple and solid.
- Mmmm hmm, I'm gonna give that a solid 82.
- I was going to say 79 because it wasn't as good
as I thought it was gonna be.
- [Stevie] Pineapple Upside-Down cheesecake.
- Risky.
Eh.
- The cheesecake gets lost in the pineapple.
- Is pineapple citrus?
- Yeah.
- Okay, can't like that.
That's why I don't like it.
- That's not great to me, 60.
- 47.
- [Stevie] Very Cherry Ghirardelli Chocolate cheesecake.
- Oh yeah.
- This is like a Valentine, romance type cheesecake.
- That tastes like a chocolate covered cherry
that you'd get at Christmas time, if you're me.
- Hmmm, 29.
- 73.
- Ugh.
- [Stevie] And that concludes our fruit category.
You may drink now.
- Okay.
- [Stevie] Up next, our miscellaneous flavors.
- Having fun, still having fun?
- I, I, I feel a lot of pressure.
- Yeah, yeah.
- To be honest with you.
I feel like the cheese, the CF people are watching.
- As much as you're picking my scale apart,
I'm trying as hard as I can.
- [Stevie] Okay, here we go with miscellaneous.
- Miscellaneous.
- [Stevie] Celebration Cheesecake.
- So basically, their version of birthday cake.

Uh, 58.

- Oh that was a big one, Chase.
- That's good, oh but a weird, weird aftertaste.
- Oh yeah?
- Yeah, 48, it went, it was moving up
and it started moving down.
- It's pasty.
- Yeah, weird aftertaste.
- Yeah, what is that, four, zero.
- [Stevie] Original.
- Straight up, huh?
It's missing something.

- Oh.
Oh gosh, I'm having a hard time.
- It's getting hard to eat now.
- Yeah, it's really (laughs), I'm starting, I mean,
I thought, I feel like I've eaten-
- So filling.
- One and a half pieces of cheesecake,
I mean I am filling up.
- I'm trying not to hold that against I, I'm actually-
- 39.
- I'm calibrating my scale in my stomach.
- Oh gosh.
- If that was the first bite I'd had
I would've, I would give it a 68.
- Yeah, you gotta...
- [Stevie] Ultimate Red Velvet Cake cheesecake.
(Rhett moans)
- Really?
- I like red velvet cake, I love red velvet cake,
but I feel like it takes too much of the cheesecake out
so, uh, 53.
- (groans) I'm really having a hard time all of a sudden.
I've hit a wall. - I've hit a wall.
- Hit a big wall - I've hit a wall, big time.
Unlike any other Gut Check we've done,
like its just slow, its slowly sliding down my throat.
- There's a lot of fat in this.
- Ugh, gosh.
- Makes it really difficult.
- Um, I can't even think straight, 50, 50, 54.
- I forgot numbers.
- [Stevie] And finally,
- Oh thank goodness.
- [Stevie] Vanilla Bean cheesecake.
- Vanilla Bean.
- I like that.
- Oh.
- Oh, I really like that.
- It tastes really good but it hurts real bad.
- 82.
- Yeah, I'm gonna give that one a 72 (groans).
Ugh.
- [Stevie] Okay guys,
- We made it.
- [Stevie] you've done tasted all the cheesecakes.
We're gonna tabulate the scores
so you can judge your top four cheesecakes.
- Yeah, let's eat some more.
- [Stevie] Please, just hang on.
- Do you like to eat as much as we do?
(voices laugh)
- Yeah.
(voices laugh)
- Check out the Mythical Kitchen channel.
Uh, Mythical Jeff, Josh, all them kitcheneers.
They make some amazing stuff on that channel.
Check it out.
- Yeah.
- There's also a podcast.
Yeah, there's lots of stuff over there.
- A Hot Dog Is A Sandwich is what it's called.
- If you're hungry, if you're still hungry.
- Check that out.
- [Stevie] Okay, so these are the final four cheesecakes
in no particular order,
we have Reese's Peanut Butter Chocolate cheesecake,
which is a Reese's Peanut Butter Cups in our
original cheesecake with layers of
delicious fudge, cake, and caramel.
- Hold on, you work for the CF, you said "our".
(Stevie laughs)
- And what is that, what is that right there?
- [Stevie] Adam's Peanut Butter Cup Fudge Ripple
which is creamy cheesecake swirled with caramel,
peanut butter, Butterfinger, and Reese's Peanut Butter Cups.
- That has Reese's in it, as well.
- [Stevie] White Chocolate Raspberry Truffle
which is creamy cheesecake swirled with
white chocolate and raspberry.
And White Chocolate Caramel Macadamia Nut cheesecake
which is white chocolate chunk cheesecake
swirled with macadamia nuts and caramel
on a blonde brownie crust.
- Is it-
- White chocolate versus peanut butter, y'all.
- Is it your macadamia nuts?
- [Stevie] (laughs) Yeah, they're ours.
- Okay, listen, they know that we're peanut butter lovers
but I, here's what I think.
- We haven't tasted them yet.
- I think that these two are the bottom four.
- Well let's taste, let's taste them all.
- Okay, okay.
- Cause we definitely gotta make a decision
between the two peanut butter ones.
Lets just figure out which one these is better.
- You want, here, you take the tip.
- [Stevie] Oh whoops, that's Adam's, that's Adam's.
- This is Adam's?
- [Stevie] That's Adam's, yep yep yep.
- See.
- That's Adam's?
- [Stevie] Yeah, cause you see those
like Butterfinger situations?
- Yes, that, I'm like "what is that?"
- [Stevie] Yeah, so that's Adam's
and then the other one is Reese's.
- [Link] I'm a go on the side here.
- [Rhett] Get a little bit of this stuff on the top here.
It's really good.
- It's very peanut buttery forward.
Now this one's taller.
Oh gosh, I got way too much.
- It's more uniform.
This has got a stronger peanut butter flavor than this.
- This one has cake in it.
I actually think the peanut butter is more forward here
cause its not competing as much with chocolate.
- Well classic peanut butter, I'll go, they're both good,
I'll go with you here on the Reese's, no, the Adam's,
What is it?
- [Stevie] Adam's.
the Adam's is better than the Reese's.
- Let's, let's see if we're right here.
We meaning me cause I guess you haven't said.
I think this is like an Oreo crust.
Refreshing, a little lighter.
- So much more-
- You have a chance to get all the way through a slice.
- It's a classic cheesecake flavor that's not too rich.
- [Link] Yeah.
- [Rhett] That might be the perfect cheesecake.
- It is wonderful.
There is no crunch, if you really want crunch,
go for macadamia.
Macadamia is a wonderful little nut.
I consider it an Hawaiian nut.
- Yeah.
(voices laugh)
Most people do, I think.
All right, Link, after-
- I like Hawaii.
- After tasting all four, I'm with you on this.
- Yes!
- That we're going to put the Adam's,
we're taking the Reese's, it's leaving.
- [Stevie] No, no.
- You're saying it backwards.
- [Stevie] No, no, yep, yeah.
- Taking the Reese's.
It's leaving. - It's leaving.
(voices laugh)
We're taking the Adam's - Taking the Adam's
and we're putting it on the bottom.
- Yes, we're giving it bronze.
- And we're coming down.
- Hey, don't complain.
- Coming down to these two
and I, I, in my mind-
- This has been-
- This is the clear winner for me.
- I will, I will tell you this has been my go-to order.
I'm, I'm interested to find out this is,
this is also your wife's go-to order.
But this right here, is that Oreo for a crust?
- It's heavenly.
- [Stevie] I don't have that information,
if it's our Oreo crust or not.
(voices laugh)
- It's a, it's a cookie.
- Dude, it's a, there is a clear winner here,
in my mind, are you feeling what I'm feeling?
- Yep, definitely.
(voices laugh)
Yes!
- The best cheesecake that you can get
at the Cheesecake Factory,
and the official winner of the golden cake thing.
What is it called?
(metal tings)
- [Stevie] Yeah.
- Yeah.
- Is...
- White Chocolate Raspberries - What's it called?
- [Stevie] Truffle
- Cloud Truffle
- Say the official name cause you work there.
- [Stevie] White Chocolate Raspberry Truffle.
(confetti cannon pops)
- Wow!
- I should've known you were standing there for a reason.
- Yeah.
- Good gracious y'all.
- Didn't get in my wine.
- That's the perfect cheesecake, take it to the bank.
Well actually, just eat it.

I was like, can you make crispy cheese.
- Yeah, you know, just like, give it,
