My baby-cakes ordered a Kobe beef burger (U.S. I wish I would have ordered a small plate, but that just means I get to go back and try some more! I was glad I went with another appetizer when I saw my dinner mates' plates. This time the recipe was slightly different and they weren't as I expected, but still tasty nonetheless. I have gotten these before and loved them. After contemplating and not being able to decide, I chose to go with two appetizers, one to share and one for my entree.įor my entree I got the Crispy Crab Wontons, which are similar to crab rangoons. I sat oogling at all the goodies on their extensive multi-paged menu and already knew that whatever I ordered must be a small enough portion to be able to enjoy a big piece of cheesecake at the end. I was ecstatic at the wait time because I've always had to wait over an hour. When we arrived at the restaurant we were greeted by air conditioning (which was gladly welcomed due to the heat index being over 100º that day) and a mere 15 minute wait for a table. This past weekend I was visiting Chi-town for an interesting exhibit on a popular wizard at the Museum of Science and Industry when the opportunity presented itself to dine at TCF. Go for the cheesecake, stay for the food, never a disappointment! 98% of all the trips I take to chicago must include The Cheesecake Factory somewhere.

I haven't even tried a tenth of their menu, and yet it remains one of my favorite places to eat. TWO pages! Just check out all the mouthwatering selections online if you have a moment.

And you want selection? There's two pages of just appetizers. The outrageous curves of the art nouveau architecture really sets the mood. My first dining experience at the Cheesecake Factory was somewhere around 2003 in Chicago, Illinois, and I was just blown away by the architecture. Where do I even begin with this oh-so-popular restaurant?
