that's why i work at the cheesecake factory i'm holding out for the right part
the cheesecake factory is well known and adored for its decadent desserts however there is way
more to this popular chain restaurant than just its delicious cheesecakes emphasis on the more
so feast your eyes on these 10 mind-blowing facts about the cheesecake factory 35 flavors oh so many
flavors many of you know that cheesecake factory is well known for its delicious cheesecakes
but did you know that this restaurant chain boasts more than 35 incredible flavors there
are more than enough selections to appeal to any taste on the planet from the plain to the exotic
and everything in between the original cheesecake shouldn't really be called plain i mean it is
rich and creamy and has a sweet graham cracker crust mouth-watering stuff oh that just made
me hungry however if the original cheesecake is too simple there are plenty of flavors that are
a little more adventurous there's the celebration cheesecake which alternates layers of vanilla cake
cheesecake and mousse this cheesecake probably tastes as great as it sounds
and might be too rich to finish all at once so you might have to pace yourself for best results
if you're looking for something a little bit lighter and more fruity though you could give
the mango key lime cheesecake a try this cheesecake is topped with mango mousse and
has a vanilla coconut macaroon crust the crust alone sounds like a delicious dessert we'd cross
deserts to devour the lowlicious cheesecake is also a more health-conscious menu option so grab
your fork and take a bite out of the cheesecake rainbow going big if we're going out we're going
out big the cheesecake factory is of course known for its delicious meals and even more delicious
cheesecakes this chain is also known in the restaurant industry for its godzilla-sized menu
that seems to offer a little bit of everything some customers have complained that the menu is a
little too big and have trouble finding what they want the hefty menu consists of more than 6000
words and has more than 250 items on it for you to choose from also david overton has admitted
that the menu has been changed twice a year every year of the chain's 40-year run according
to overton customers will be hard-pressed not to find something they want to eat oh i can't decide
however according to the people at cheesecake factory there is a method to this madness because
the menu is so big customers notice it and talk about it this is something that separates the
cheesecake factory from other chain restaurants this might seem like a strange advantage but
anything that can separate a restaurant from its competition is significant the menu includes a
wide variety of drinks appetizers main dishes and desserts the cheesecake factory is known
for these several dozen varieties of cheesecakes but offers other desserts as well if you can't
find something on this deluxe-sized menu then chances are you could just be very hard to please
too much of a good thing i smell good things the cheesecake factory is a popular restaurant but
it's not exactly inexpensive so if you're not careful you could over indulge both your wallet
and your waistline for most people this isn't too big of an issue however for some people
their love of or even obsession with the cheesecake factory can jeopardize their finances
take vince young a starting quarterback for the nfl's tennessee titans for several years who made
millions of dollars with the team well despite his generous salary the professional athlete found
himself in quite a bit of financial trouble and part of the problem was his excessive spending at
the cheesecake factory young would often treat teammates to meals at the chain racking up as
much as five thousand dollars a week in charges although the cheesecake factory was not young's
only source of financial troubles his out of control spending at the popular chain ultimately
contributed to him having to declare bankruptcy to address his debt problems i declare bankruptcy
hopefully young didn't have to give up his trips to the cheesecake factory entirely but learned to
keep the bill under control and make better money moves fresh is best hot and fresh from the oven
into your mouth most restaurants try to convince their customers that they use fresh food in their
recipes hello subway but some places do a better job of actually making this slogan or promise a
reality the cheesecake factory truly does try its best to use fresh food to make the recipes on its
extensive menu the staff at cheesecake factory are proud of the fact that they have a scratch kitchen
in every location because this gives the cooks the flexibility to use a variety of ingredients and
modify all the recipes to suit customers specific tastes it is a lot harder to have fresh food on
hand all the time in a busy kitchen like the ones cheesecake has but the attention to quality makes
it worthwhile frozen and canned foods are much easier to store and they're ready on hand when you
need them but the cheesecake factory has made the commitment to using as much fresh food as possible
susie these ingredients are very fresh and well prepared including all the highly perishable fresh
fruits and vegetables it uses in its recipes with the extensive menu that the chain offers it's not
always easy to make good on this commitment but the people who run the factory think it's worth
it since the freshness of the food is something that not all restaurants choose to provide
the cheesecake factory stands out for this reason in the highly competitive restaurant biz details
definitely matter and the cheesecake factory seems to have this detail down to a salivating science
diy diy makes it so much easier it's the opposite people like choices especially when they go out to
eat and spend their hard-earned cash they enjoy having trained restaurant staff cook delicious
meals for them but there are times when you just can't make it to a local cheesecake factory but
have no fear if you want a particular cheesecake dish you just might be able to make it yourself
at home although this popular restaurant chain rakes in the moolah by getting you to actually go
inside one of its many locations it is understood that some people just can't get to the restaurant
so the cheesecake factory website includes a selection of its recipes for customers to try
to create on their own how fun there is a tasty selection of diy meals customers can make such
as almond crusted salmon salad cajun jambalaya pasta and warm crab and artichoke dip though
there is only a small number of recipes to choose from considering that the menu is so extensive
most people would rather have the chefs do the cooking for them anyway but don't get it twisted
the company has made it a point not to offer any of its cheesecake recipes for public replication
although it would be great if they did give out some cheesecake how-to's on the website it makes
sense that the beloved restaurant wouldn't want to just give away its namesake commodity
after all they're nice not self-destructive a matter of taste first step in learning how to cook
is learning how to taste unlike the decor of some places meant to set a neutral type of ambiance
the cheesecake factory's decor is actually supposed to stand out it's an impressionable
blend of victorian and egyptian styles most customers are probably paying more attention
to the extensive menu than to the walls but the unique atmosphere definitely contributes to the
lifelong memories made around cheesecake tables wow this brings back memories the cheesecake
factory's in-house designer rick mccormick said in 2017 that the egyptian columns found in each
restaurant are a focal point of the design that the customers are most apt to notice as they dine
and these decorative columns aren't all the same no no no these columns are often customized to fit
the specific location such as the location in marina del rey california that has palm trees
painted on the columns he does admit that the combination of design elements from victorian and
egyptian styles could clash and some people might think it looks tacky while everyone is entitled to
their opinions mccormick insists that the standout decor comes together for a unique look that helps
to define the customer experience at cheesecake factory locations around the world the overton
recipe you know our secret recipe is uh a secret the overton recipe sounds a little like the title
of a spy thriller that's a cross between jason bourne and master chef however it is actually
much more important than that because it is the foundation of the cheesecake factory and the
reason for the huge success it has become since opening in the 1970s it has been reported that the
basis of evelyn overton's cheesecake recipe was an existing recipe she saw in a newspaper while this
is true it doesn't do justice to all the time she spent experimenting with and adjusting the recipe
until the result was just the way she wanted there are five basic ingredients used to make
cheesecake so it really comes down to the exact amounts and whatever other ingredients are added
i don't remember the ingredients the recipe miss overton eventually settled on is still used for
the original cheesecake and as the base for all the varieties of cheesecake the company sells
these varieties include everything from chocolate tuxedo cheesecake to the pumpkin cheesecake all
of these flavors start with the same basic ingredients to ensure that the quality and
flavor customers have come to expect is always there some of the flavors really don't even taste
like cheesecake but it's good to know they still have all the key ingredients that make it genuine
getting satisfaction you have stress yes working at a busy food establishment is 100
hard work but most employees are actually quite happy working at the cheesecake factory the
company has made an effort to treat its employees with generosity and the staff have taken notice
for example they offer a decent health plan that is available to all employees as well
as their immediate family in this era of rising health care costs this is much more than a perk
it is almost universally a necessity for most people in addition to the health insurance that
employees are offered there's also a high school diploma program and a college benefit that helps
staff pay for the college degree of their choice well the first 10 million went to pay off student
loans these programs definitely have increased employee satisfaction and there are receipts for
this the cheesecake factory made it onto fortune's list of 100 best companies to work for several
years in a row the resto most recently held the number 25 spot on the list and this is something
to definitely be proud of the cheesecake factory cares about its team's quality of life and it
shows d is for dessert or detroit d for dirtbags detroit is known for many things from the car
industry to eminem and beyond well interestingly enough cheesecake factory founder david overton
was originally in a band david dropped out of law school to be the drummer in a band called the
billy roberts blues band however overton's musical career didn't really work out the way he might
have hoped so he decided to change direction he decided he was going to help his family start what
would become an internationally known restaurant chain famous for its cheesecake talk about goals
realized life goals it all started when david's mother evelyn saw a cheesecake recipe printed in
the local newspaper she perfected her take on the cheesecake recipe in her home kitchen and opened
her own bakery in detroit to sell her delicious dessert although the cheesecake in question was
born in detroit the family eventually moved to los angeles it was in the city of angels where the
overton family got the idea to sell the cheesecake to restaurants these efforts were met with various
amounts of success so eventually they refocused their efforts on creating their own place the
cheesecake factory was officially founded in la in the 70s all in the family i don't have friends
i got family did you know that the cheesecake factory is a family affair well it is the overton
family started what would become a famous restaurant empire with a single location
the family's first location to sell their cheesecakes was a bakery not a full restaurant
and it was called the cheesecake factory bakery evelyn overton's cheesecake recipes were a major
hit and the number of cheesecake flavors and locations grew until the small business became
the popular chain we know it to be today the overton family proved to be prolific so the family
business didn't stop with only cheesecake factory locations they also operate two other small chains
the grand luxe cafe and rock sugar southeast asian kitchen perhaps we could expand our market
with an emphasis on different cuisines other than what the cheesecake factory is known for
they can pull in customers looking for slightly more exotic food while not nearly
as big as the cheesecake factory chain these smaller chains have enjoyed success as well
both of these smaller chains are also known for their quality food and service and of course both
also have delicious dessert menus to tempt their customers get a taste of more great videos just
