Lotta Love For Cheesecake

My eyes grow wide with excitement pretty much any time anything with a lotta sugar and a lotta fat makes its way into my path of destruction.  Cheesecake especially makes my stomach squeal with excitement...and don't get me started on the Cheesecake Factory's cheesecake deliciousness.  After they removed their meatloaf sandwich from their menu, I was pretty bummed thinking about my every-other-year Cheesecake Factory binge.  But then I discovered their eggplant sandwich and life was made right again.  I don't always make room for one of their gazillion cheesecake flavors after my eggplant sandwich, but when I do, I usually roll home with post-gluttony self-hatred and swear off the Factory forever...until the next time, of course.  But why all the talk about the Cheesecake Factory and its extensive menu?

BECAUSE IT'S NATIONAL CHEESECAKE DAY.  Holla!  Leave it up to the Americans to nationally recognize a fatty dessert for 24 whole straight hours, right?  Well, each rich slice of the creamy dessert deserves every ounce of recognition, in my opinion.

In addition, it's the Cheesecake Factory's 30th anniversary.  In honor of the occasion and in recognition of National Cheesecake Day, each Cheesecake Factory dine-in guest today may choose a slice of their famously creamy and delicious cheesecakes for $1.50, the same price they charged when they opened thirty years ago today.  I'm not sure if they'll sliver the slices down, but who cares.  Grab your cheesecake-loving friends and head to your local Factory.  And if your friends are lactose intolerant?  Grab a Lactaid pill, drink a lot of water, and go anyway!
