There's No Cheese in Cheesecake

OK...maybe there is...the truth is, I don't really know how they make cheesecake and I don't care. Went to the Cheesecake factory for dinner Saturday night and it was quite an adventure. We called for an early dinner...3pm. I estimated that there wouldn't be a crowd at 3pm, and for once...ask Katharine because she was psyched...I was wrong. An 80 minute wait...that's an hour and twenty minutes in case you don't care to figure it out. Typically I won't wait that long to be seated in a restaurant, but we were there...I personally had checked the menu earlier in the day and I was looking forward to the meal I was about to order. So we were finally seated...our order was taken...and then...{BOOP}{BOOP}{BOOP}...all the lights came on...{BOOP}{BOOP}{BOOP} the alarm blared...the music stopped. The ambience was gone, the fire alarm blasted an unpleasant noise...nobody moved. Not a person got up to escape the blaze that none of us could see. Was anyone really going to escape the building when they waited 80 minutes to sit in the first place? I don't think so. The restaurant continued to seat people, people continued to eat, and we continued to wait for bread that never arrived. Maybe that's what burned.

Cheesecake is made from cream cheese (as in Philadephia) and other stuff.

So now you know.

I hope you had a wonderful food after waiting so long. Most people would have left and picked up a Sara Lee from the local grocery store! Actually, cheesecake is one of my favorite foods (next to chocolate and mashed potatoes). Did you leave a good tip? Ha ha.

Tip? What tip? The ambience was bad enough but that's nobody's fault...not getting bread is another story altogether!

There were no long sad faces because we were not getting up until flames burst through the wall!
