Woodland Hills remodel?

[sgrizzle]

I like cheesecake factory. Won't eat there every day or anything, but it will probably be a decent place for birthdays and stuff. The menu is ludicrous in size.

I haven't been by in awhile but considering there is a construction trailer there, I can't imagine construction starting is that far off.

God that's depressing, why would they build a Cheesecake factory out there

TO manufacturing cheesecake. Duh.  []

I'm pretty sure they arrive frozen.
Perhaps a more accurate name for them would simply be "cheesecake store"

there I fixed it for you.

BTW, cant you get these in Sams?

The stuff at sams is cheesecake factory branded stuff. Definitely not what you get in the store. A cheesecake is like $80 and up.

What we need is a Fogo de Chao restaurant.

For some reason my company ends up going there every time we have an offsite lunch meeting.  I always cringe but the food's really not bad.  It seems to be extremely busy all the time.

My wife and I eat there every time we are in Dallas.  Glad we are getting one here.  Woodland has worked on it since Rreef owned the mall.  We always split a meal and still take our cheese cake back to the hotel with us and eat it later.  The portions are so big.

I love Fogo de Chao,  someone told me we had a place like it here, Gaucho Inc
(918) 494-0042
6219 E 61st St
Tulsa, OK 74136-2120

We will co there and see if it is as good as Fogo.

I've heard Gaucho is good, but if you're on a budget, go at lunch. Lunch costs about half the price of dinner.

Cheesecake Factory opens today.

Seems funny that the mayor shows up to restaurant openings.

I thought it was funny, too....Except her predecessor would have been at Quiktrip at 3 in the afternoon getting junk food....or at the gym....or on any other number of errands.  I got used to seeing the guy tooling around town like he was retired or something.  I'm just glad Kathy shows up, even if it does seem rather minor.

Well Channel 8 was there for the opening too so I guess it is considered news.

Ok, now that it has been open awhile, has anyone eaten at the Cheesecake Factory?  The lines there are ridiculous.  I had a friend eat there that said everything was pretty good but way overpriced and he wont be back there to eat.

I went, waited like 30 minutes. Tip I found out later is that the bar has first come, first serve tables.

This is not a mid-price place like everything else on 71st. Two meals cost me about $65 out the door. If you keep in mind the servings are more "family size" and split a meal between two people, the prices aren't that bad. Pop is $3 though, so order water.
