The Cheesecake Factory

Yeah, it's been around for a very long time. So rewind from that. This is from thedailymeal.com. The key designer who did all the batshit stuff came on board in 1992. So that was four years after the Redondo Beach location opened. And he did all that, as this site says, wacky as heck decor. So blame it all on Rick McCormick, who is a veteran designer.

If your instinct is, what do any of these things have to do with cheesecake? The answer is absolutely nothing. It turns out they were just items their designer and the CEO thought were cool. So it's that simple. It's that simple. I guess good on them. McCormick himself admits the style might not sound good if you've never experienced it yourself.

So this Daily Meal article goes on to say, no two Cheesecake Factory locations are exactly the same, but they all share a riot of influences from Egypt to Victorian England to areas in Central Europe. And according to an old interview that McCormick did, the Egyptian style was mainly because Overton always thought Egyptian stuff looked cool. And he was the CEO I mentioned earlier.

Yeah. He's like, Egypt, have you seen it? Look at this photo. It's amazing. Yeah. Europe, Victorian England. Let's do it all. Yeah. It's very American. You just like grabbing a bunch of other influencers and like branding it as your own thing.

No, I think I felt comfortable and at home in there. I saw many different people dining and they all seemed to be having a good time. I've also learned recently that they cut 13 items last month from their menu, but they've added 23 more. So you thought that menu was going to get down to 18 pages? It's probably up to about 21 now. I thought that was quite good.

Oh, like it's like two pages of cheesecake flavors. Insane. I'm sure there's some blogger out there that's gone through and had like one bite of every cheesecake, but we'll live our lives and we won't have all that cheesecake.
