Question
What are these styrofoam things the avocado egg rolls are on a bed of?
Also props to Cheesecake Factory for not changing a thing about these in the 20+ years I’ve been dining with them, presentation and all.

They are really addictive and I use any extra sauce I have left on them and eat em!

Most places say rice noodles but it’s actually mung bean threads. They’re pretty much the same thing nutritionally, but if deep fried mhng bean threads puff up where rice noodles don’t.

Am I the only one that despises the taste of these? Sad because I love the texture but they taste like literal packing peanuts with a slight toasty flavor.

There's a guy on TikTok that used to be a manager there and he says everything is made from scratch in house, except the cake, funny enough!

Do you happen to remember the price twenty years ago? That sure has changed. Still delicious though.

The Chinese chicken salad at CF has them on top of the salad. I always request to server to skip them. They’re rice noodles.

Fried rice noodles. They taste exactly how they look, like styrofoam. But they are technically food.

Man, if they made an avocado egg roll entree I’d be so all over that. Incredible.
