Thread: Just went to Cheesecake Factory.

Easy way to spend 100$ on food on two meals =P

I'm jealous though, no Cheesecake Factory around here. Time to go to sleep and dream about it.

Actually I'm eating on the dime of others...my mom's in town for work so she's taking me to dinner on her corporate expense account tonight and tomorrow. It's a beautiful thing.

I think I just came.

No wait, that was the thought of me instantly gaining 8 lbs overnight lol. ahh moderation... a trait I was not adorned with.

One of my favorite restaurants to go to when travelling (there's not one here either).

Not one around me either...but I'm not a huge fan.

I ate my last cheat meal in a party stupor, I didn't really let myself enjoy it, ate it too quickly.

I hated my last experience at Cheesecake Factory.

Very mediocre.

^ what happened?

I didnt care for my last experience either. Dont remember why exactly, just that I wasnt rushing back. When you have a good experience, you ALWAYS remember it.

The portions were big though..

Dam right! Eat up! Guys at the gym are always envious when i start talking about some of the shlt I eat. "aww man, all of that fat...aw man...all of this all of that? How can you get away with that...." I'm thinking shut the fvck up. When I tell them they need the fat they laugh and think I'm joking! Then they act surprised when you tell em you've never been on gear.

Just good food and technique.

This is what I remember about The Cheesecake Factory as well. Additionally, I thought the prices were pretty reasonable given the size of the portions.

Yeah, I get tired of hearing everyone judge the healthiness of a food by its fat content. This morning at work, a co-worker bought a muffin in and said she didn't feel like eating it, so she gave it to another girl, who accepted it only after finding out it was "fat free."

The meal was just extremely mediocre and way overpriced at $50 dollars for a broccoli/cheddar soup and two chicken caesar salads between my girlfriend and I.

The same meal at Chili's that's twice as good costs between $25 and $30 dollars.

Also, Cheesecake seemed to have a ton of variety which most people might like, but I didn't at all.

cheesecake factory has good kalimari other than that im not really impressed. best kalimari and food in my like 30-40 mile drive ocean club. man i love that place the mahi mahi is killer. my wife really digs the cheesecake factory im just not real impressed.

Man I love the cheesecake factory. It's maybe the most gluttonous restaurant I've been to between the monster portion sizes and the great desserts.

I'm surprised to hear many of you haven't liked it...everything I've tried has been fantastic. I would recommend the Thai Lettuce Wraps, any of the burgers, the meatloaf (incredible), the herb chicken, any of the pizzas. For dessert, try the carrot cake (if you don't like cheesecake...this one's awesome) or the chocolate tuxedo/caramel white chocolate cheesecake. Amazing.

seems a bit greasy to me. i dunno food is alright not a dessert fan.

I have never heard of the place.

Meanwhile she's over her maintenance by 500 various nonfat calories.

Sounds like my coworker. Said that my diet was dumb and it didn't work because at the time I was eating ginormous amounts of fat and protein. 6 weeks later I was down about 4-5lbs fat, coworker is up 6lbs.

I will say it's funny how when I go out and don't worry about calories and probably eat 1200-1300 at a meal that those same people will comment about "how does he not get fat eating like he does". I always wonder if they just don't notice how anal retentive I am about my diet the other 96% of the time.
