The Cheesecake Factory is a mall staple, a weekend hot spot where lines stretch with people craving more than just cheesecake. Trust us; the menu is massive—a hefty binder packed with everything from cocktails to appetizers, indulgent entrées, and even soups and salads for the health-conscious (who, despite their good intentions, still find themselves celebrating a birthday or office win in one of those comfy booths).
Now, here’s where the fun starts: we’ll show you a dish, and you’ll guess the calorie count. Don’t worry; we’ve pulled the real numbers straight from the source, but if it were up to you, we all know the answer would be the same: zero calories, right?
Quiz Writer
Jake didn’t think he’d become a writer when he was growing up in southern Saskatchewan, Canada, but fate had another idea. After barely squeaking through grade 9 English, by the luck of the draw Jake found himself with the most inspiring literature instructor his small town had ever known, and grade 10 English changed his life! Suddenly, evenings once spent at the hockey rink were spent curled up on the couch with the best of Hemingway, Dickens, and John Grisham. A valedictorian address and English degree at the University of Regina later, Jake is proud to call Heywise his favorite place to pen informative quizzes about all his passion projects. If you’re reading a post and pick up a hint of classic English literature, you’re probably reading something by Jake - especially if you come away feeling like a slightly better person for it.

When Did this Factory Get its Start?
The original cheesecake that launched the restaurant chain was baked in the 1940s. Evelyn Overton took a local newspaper recipe and made it her own. Evelyn's “Original” Cheesecake was so popular, she was encouraged to open her own shop in Detroit, Michigan. But owning a business was challenging with two small children, so Evelyn eventually closed the shop and moved her equipment to her basement. She continued to supply cakes to area restaurants until her children were grown. In 1972, Evelyn and her husband Oscar moved to Los Angeles to give Evelyn's dream of owning her own business another shot. They opened The Cheesecake Factory Bakery, and were soon providing more than 20 varieties of cheesecakes to the city's restaurants. In 1978, Evelyn's son David opened the first restaurant. Today there are more than 200 of the restaurant chain around the world. Source: https://www.thecheesecakefactory.com/about-us/
