The Cheesecake Factory (Short Pump, Va) The Return


So many of you may have read the first entry on The Cheesecake Factory, and wondered how come no cheesecake write up? So I just had to go back again so you can get my take on a classic cheesecake. Before diving into the cheese cake you have to start off with a good meal. After searching the multiple page menu, I came upon the Crispy Spicy Beef (pictured at top). The menu describes it as Crispy Fried Slices of Steak Sauteed with Green Beans, Shiitake Mushrooms, Onions, Carrots and Sesame Seeds in a Sweet-Spicy Sauce. Served with White Rice. With a description like that who couldn't try this dish? First bite was sweet and spicy with a little crunch, the sauce mixed well with the rice and vegetables. Second bite just as good and thus followed the rest of the meal. Just like before I hit a food wall at the end of the main course, and was wondering if I could give you readers what you wanted the infamous cheesecake. I gathered  up enough strength to order the White Chocolate Raspberry Cheesecake (pictured bottom).  One bite in and I was in creamy, thick, sugar bliss. The textures worked well all the way to the crunchy chocolate graham cracker crust. Who would expect any different from a place named after this wonderful dessert. As an overall just like the last meeting we had the service was good, and the meal was excellent. Moving The Cheesecake Factory to a 10 on the devouring scale. So if you should come upon one of these in your travels, stop in and sit a while....and don't forget the cheesecake!
