Nashville Cheesecake Factory... Many Happy Returns

| Comments (0)

We went to the Cheesecake Factory in Green Hills (near Nashville) for the first time a few weeks ago.

It was sooooo good that both Jim and I were craving cheesecake for days! So much so, that we searched the local grocery stores for some decent pre-made cheesecakes.


Our Search For Good Cheesecake... Locally

We actually found a full-size "plain" Cheesecake Factory cheesecake in the freezer section of some store -- might have been Costco -- for something like $9.99.

We ended up getting one from Publix. It was very small, but very rich -- with a chocolate crumb crust (my favorite). It was a good substitute for "the real thing" from the Cheesecake Factory, and it satisfied our craving for cheesecake for about a week.

It had the chocolate crumb crust and a full-size Oreo cookie for each of the pre-cut slices in this 12-inch round cheesecake. It was $13.99 from Costco, and it lasted well over 2 weeks in our house!

We went back to the Cheesecake Factory to get a taste of "the real thing" again tonight. It was a Tuesday at 7PM, and Jim's parents were in town.

This time, there was only a 10-minute wait!

Cheesecake Factory: Round 2

On our second visit, we ordered completely different things.

Again, the food was to die for!

"...a spicy Thai dish with the flavors of curry, peanut, chile and coconut, sauteed with vegetables and served over rice"

"...linguini tossed with sauteed chicken, julienne carrots, green onion, roasted peanuts & a spicy hot peanut sauce, topped with fresh bean sprouts"


Of course we all tried a different version of their famous cheesecake. The best this time was Macadamia Nut cheesecake, pictured here. (Notice the two heaping piles of whipped cream???)
