The Cheesecake Factory

Hallelujah!

Here in our smallish town we have to wait years for most national stores to come down our way.  More than a year ago, we received the joyous news that the Cheesecake Factory was going to open a restaurant here.  The construction stated quickly and the building was completed in a short time.  The anticipation of the grand opening could be felt in the air – I swear.

Then the oddest thing happened, the restaurant didn’t open.  It was fully complete and furnished inside.  I know because ever few weeks when I was over at the mall, I attempted to peek inside.  Literally, months have gone by and no grand opening.  The town was awash in rumors  . . .  not opening because of the economy, not opening because the construction people were owed money, not opening because no one wanted cheesecake (that last one was a joke, only the insane don’t like cheesecake).

Well, our patience has finally paid off – the opening celebration is set for this Thursday.

Amylynn and I came up with a plan.  We want to go there for 57 consecutive days and have each of their cheesecake flavors and then we want to blog about each heavenly slice.  We see this as a public service – how else will you know exactly what each one tastes like and which ones to try and in what order???

I told Ed of our plans, and get this, he said no!  NO.  Seriously, he thinks it’s a bad idea.  Sadly, the divorce papers are in the mail and I rubbed cheesecake on them.   Pbbbbbbbbbbbbt!
