Cheesecake Factory

The cheesecake factory has an awesome view over union square. You can see Saks Fifth Ave and Victoria Secret.

This is about the point where you die if you're a diabetic.

I know. I had to have steak. I was CRAVING steak. 700g ought to do it.

Today a few of us went to SF for the Alcatraz night tour, but during the day we went to the Cheesecake Factory in Macy's for lunch. These guys are meant to have world famous cheesecakes. Yes, I ate some, it was damn good. What I found pretty interesting was the fact that they showed the number of calories in each slice - I don't know if that's smart, but I guess most American's can't add up properly anyway. Well regardless, the most potent cheese cake was 'Stefanie's Ultimate Red Velvet Cheesecake' ~1500 calories per slice. That's 3/4 the recommended average adult daily intake. In one slice of cake.

What I also found funny was the fact that they have 'low carb cheese cake' - which was like only a tiny 500 calories per slice. And no I did not get that. We shared 2 slices between 3 people - it's that rich you can't have much more. We had the cookie dough caramel and the peanut butter one. I did take a picture of the menu so you can see all those photo's when I put them up on facebook if you're interested. Take care not to drool on your keyboard.
