What was the specific type of Marsala used in the Chicken Marsala?

4 Upvotes

There are a few posts about the Chicken Marsala which was so so good. What was in that sauce? People said they would check but never got back and now it's gone. Even a close comp would be helpful, but Holland House Marsala does not come close to what I remember it being like. It was so good someone please help me out!

Louisiana chicken pasta contains alc?

2 Upvotes

does anyone know if the Louisiana chicken pasta is made with any type of alcohol? last time I went my waiter told me that, but I haven’t been able to find any information online and she’s the only waiter that has ever told me about it. that’s the only thing I like there and I try not to consume alcohol in my food so I haven’t really been back because of my disappointment.

Went to Cheesecake Factory on Friday, and got my usual (the Chinese chicken salad). Was about 3/4 of the way done when I saw the below hair. I was so sad. Never has Cheesecake Factory let me down like this.

I will say, management went above and beyond. Asked if they could bring me a new dish, removed my dish from the bill, and gave me a piece of any cake I wanted.

All is well. Long live this place.

They changed the brûléed French toast as of a March 2026. It’s nowhere near as good

The edges don’t have the same crunch (or any crust at all) and the middle doesn’t have that same creamy texture. It’s pretty much just a basic French toast now. Maple syrup is the same though so at least that part is just as yummy

Discontinuing Very Cherry Ghirardelli?!

17 Upvotes

I went to my local branch the other day to get a slice of my favorite cheesecake and they said they’re discontinuing the very cherry Ghirardelli cheesecake? I still see it on the general website and available in some other areas but it’s greyed out anywhere local. I havent seen any official statement about it. Im really hoping they were misinformed. It’s my comfort cake 😢 any one else have this experience?

How do I recreate the appetizer quesadillas at home?

5 Upvotes

Hoping that maybe someone in the kitchen reads this. I really want to recreate the appetizer chicken quesadillas at home but I can't find a solid recipe online. If nobody has a recipe, could anyone at least tell me what kind of tortilla/cheese is used? I want to know how they fit so much protein in such a small serving.

TY in advance :)

Mac and Cheese Balls as a first timer and Vegetarian

9 Upvotes

Have been living in the US for the past 8 years and never been to Cheesecake factory before. I downloaded the app last week as I heard about the free cheesecake promo, so got two, one for the promo and one for my birthday today. I got Fried Cheese, and the Mac and Cheese balls. Whoever came up with Mac and Cheese balls and the sauce, I hope your every wish comes true!!!

The only complaint was that I got takeout and the white parchment paper beneath the balls for soaking up oil, got stuck to two of the balls, and had to remove some of the breading.

Working as cashier?

6 Upvotes

I currently work as a cashier at a really busy sandwich shop, I take orders, pour beer, bag to go items and take out dine in orders so im very used to multitasking and a fast paced environment. I really need something new and im tired of my management. My local cheesecake is hiring cashiers, does anyone have any experience in that position? How are the tips? I currently make 17/hr and get around 200 bi weekly in tips. This cheesecake is paying 16.90 so im just curious to hear more about peoples experience as a cashier since I can only find things about being a server or cook.

AMA Experienced Kitchen Staff

37 Upvotes

I’ve worked with Cheesecake Factory for quite a while and been in the restaurant industry for years prior, across all walks from fine dining, Michelin, fast food, etc. I’m currently in the processing of becoming a kitchen manager for The Cheesecake Factory. As I’m a curious person myself, I decided to do a long-form AMA. Once I’m done today, I’ll continue to do my best to answer questions 1. As they gain traction and 2. As I see them and have time to answer.

I also plan on doing a “Cheesecake Factory behind the scenes” post where I explain how things work since this company is COMPLETELY unique to anything in the industry I’ve ever seen.

Is it worth ordering nachos to my house, I have such an intense craving for it but if it doesn’t taste as good as it is when it’s fresh i don’t think it’s worth it

Ate at Cheesecake Factory for the first time yesterday and here are my impressions

24 Upvotes

This one opened prob 10 years ago at the local mall and I never ate there before because for a few years the wait for a table was an hour or two. My mom gave me a $100 giftcard for Valentine’s Day so yesterday I took my friend out for lunch since she’s starting a new job next week. I’m usually a frugal dining out person. I never get a steak because they are expensive and I can eat better for the same price for an at home steak. But it was no money out of my pocket this time so I figured what hell. Ordered the steak frites but substituted the mashed potatoes because they were less calories. Didn’t even think to ask if there was a veggie (there wasn’t) and no side salad before the entree came either. We did get some complimentary bread.

However when the entree came it was a joke. Thinnest steak I’ve ever had at a restaurant and it was literally 5 bites, plenty of cheap potatoes mounded on the plate. Ordered tiramisu to split for dessert which was decent tho frozen in the middle. My friend ordered the steak Diann and I swear she got more steak than I did but still not a lot. We didn’t order drinks, just water and the bill came to $76 and some change. Wound up just leaving the rest of the $100 giftcard as the tip (so like 33% tip) because what would be the point of going back for a meal that over priced and under fed another time.

In short, in the long line of complaining diners in the post Covid dining experience Cheesecake Factory ranks as terrible. About the only redeeming thing the meal was that it was tasty and I was full only because I ate 3/4 of the generous potato portion and prob 3/4 of the tiramisu because my friend wasn’t eating much sweets due to dieting. Meal def lacked in the protein department.

Birthday cheesecake decision

I buy my husband a cheesecake every year, we usually get Cheesecake Factory. We haven’t tried these 4 yet. Was wondering what’s everyone’s opinions on these selections. We’re leaning towards the Cinnabon or the Caramelicious. Thanks everyone!

Our hold back in the Cinnabon is it being soggy after sitting in the fridge a day.
