cheesecake factory

I try not to review chain restaurants here on my blog, but I’m making the exception with the Cheesecake Factory. For those of you visiting from a location without one of these mega restaurants, it should be added to your bucket list. Everything about it is over the top, the dining room size, the menu (or a better term book), the humongous portions, size of your drink glass, down to their signature cheesecake. Having large portions is not such a hard trick, nor is having a large varied menu, but what is unusual is that every entree is excellent. Where else can the entrees at your table vary from steak, pasta, Chinese, to fish tacos. Sure there are better more sophisticated restaurants in Nashville, but on those days when you have a hankering for a shrimp & bacon club sandwich (my personal favorite), nothing else will do!
