As I sat in my seat, I was handed a menu that would more aptly be described as a binder jam-packed with endless options for my meal. IвЂ™m a butterscotch man, and this is the closest thing they have to butterscotch. A cheesecake The Cheesecake Factory had the courage to not stick a bunch of cake in the middle of this thing and ruin it. Let cool enough before the cheesecake is put into the refrigerator for 24 hours. After one hour, remove from oven.

Ironically, this plate was not small at all, and although they were sliders вЂ“ small burgers вЂ“ the plate included four of them. The journey began with an item off the вЂњsmall platesвЂќ section: a dish named вЂњRoadside SlidersвЂќ. I wanted to experience a large section of this expansive menu, so I ordered off of the sections for small plates, salads, pasta, and, of course, desert. It took me about ten minutes to read through the entire menu. You might be out of breath by simply reading this list I know I was.

Along with the burgers, I ordered a side of fries. Once I accepted the pure size of my so-called small plate, I thoroughly enjoyed my mini burgers and would rate them highly, even compared to establishments that focus on serving burgers alone. These juicy burgers were complimented with a buttery bun and the perfect amount of ketchup and mustard to accompany the meat.

Next, I ordered a small Caesar salad. Safe to say, the first course of my meal was very pleasing. The fries captured the qualities all good fries should contain, crispy to the touch yet melting into my mouth. It is safe to say that the Cheesecake Factory did not disappoint.

The main course was a Chicken Fettuccini Alfredo pasta dish. Traditional flavors of anchovies and parmesan accompanied the creamy dressing beautifully, and I am embarrassed to say the salad was consumed before the main course arrived. Size aside, I was pleasantly surprised by the authenticity of the salad.

Covered with a thick chocolate icing and layered with original cheesecake and their traditional chocolate cake, each bite brought me crawling back for more. The result was absolutely delicious. I picked this one for two reasons: the first being my love for chocolate, and the second being this cakeвЂ™s incorporation of both cheesecake and regular cake. Finally, for the grand finale, I ordered the 30th Anniversary Chocolate Cheesecake. However, the alfredo sauce was well spiced and creamy, and the chicken was flavorful. I thought the noodles were cut too thick, which resulted in a potato-like consistency.

The overall feel of the restaurant matches what one might find at a high-end restaurant, defiantly not something you would think would be attached to most malls in America. To me, it felt almost Egyptian, due to the clay colored walls and hieroglyphics designs. When you walk into the restaurant, through these huge glass doors, the mood is set by the low lighting, waitresses dressed in black and white uniforms, large fancy bar, and dГ©cor that, although rather beautiful, is hard to determine exactly what culture it is influenced by. First, let me describe the environment. In addition to the meal, the environment, staff, and customers each affected my experience at the restaurant. Their cheesecake was mouthwatering.The vast menu, delicious items, and sinful deserts are only part of the story of my experience of going to the Cheesecake Factory.

This is no rare occasion the Cheesecake Factory experiences a high volume of people visiting their establishment every day. The bar and seating area were covered with patrons and families waiting to get seated, snacking on appetizers and watching children run around. I visited the Cheesecake Factory on a Wednesday night around 7:30 pm, and still had to wait around an hour for a table.

They concluded that intake has to do not only with just taste alone, but also with the environment in which the food is presented. They discovered that the participants who were given a larger popcorn box ate more popcorn than those given a smaller bag even when participants said they preferred the popcorn from the smaller bag. What reasons could restaurants have to want to make their portion sizes bigger? Brian Wansink and Junyong Kim tackled this question through an experiment of popcorn. In addition, you would think larger portions have a significant effect on their overall costs. The restaurantвЂ™s decision to have overly zealous portion sizes is interesting because, based on my observations, many people (including myself) take home leftovers.

As a result, the taste or quality of a food-within a reasonable range-might have less to do with how much we eat than the environmental factors around us.вЂќ These findings are important when describing the Cheesecake Factory because their environment is a huge factor in the success of their restaurant and is conducive to what I believe American ideals are. On a day-to-day basis, a wide range of competing environmental influences-such as serving sizes, distractions, and the presence of others-may increase food intake independent of its palatability. Interestingly, this correlation has been shown only in the absence of competing environmental influences.

When looking at the Cheesecake Factory menu, it might be hard to guess what type of food they are selling. Therefore, The Cheesecake Factory has adopted these trendy items in hopes of attracting the clientele that influence the American diet.This leaves me with my last point on why the Cheesecake Factory represents American food: the menu has an abundance of choice. These types of foods are trendy, found on various social media sites, and believed to be healthier for us, which all contribute to their expanding popularity with the middle-class. These items are either reduced calories, foods that contain specific beneficial chemicals, or low saturated fat, such as avocado, antioxidants, and kale. For example, the addition of the вЂњsuperfoodвЂќ and skinnylicious menu sections engages the growing middle-class American movements that advocate for a dietary change, and makes a statement on what is considered healthy.

The Cheesecake Factory puts a twist on many traditional recipes, leaving their customers with a true representation of American food. American food has adopted countless cultures and nationalities, creating a melting pot of flavors to choose from. It is this combination of food types that labels this establishment as American food.

The restaurant takes the American ideal of freedom and applies it to their menu.Overall, I enjoyed my experience at the Cheesecake Factory and would recommend it to my friends and family. For example, my own experience gave me a chance to taste burgers, salad, and pasta a combination hard to find at other establishments.
