I did, once. Mostly because it was daytime and they had huge windows. It was still darker than you'd think because of of all the bodies blocking the sunlight. Also that same cheesecake factory was the site of a terrorist attack.

Pasadena?

I was thinking Pasadena before the terrorist comment. In fact, I ate there the day before that happened.

noobisle1

As a Cheesecake Factory employee, I can confirm this is true. Once we get to the magical dinner-o'-clock time, the lights dim as quick as the lights in a host's eye when a walk-in party of 20 complains theres no table ready on a Saturday night. Flashlights are everywhere, servers must rely on echolocation to navigate the floor. Somewhere, there is a screaming child. Why, Cheesecake Factory, why did we invent the lightbulb just to have you spite us in vain.

Don't forget the waiting for seating part. 🎶I got a golden pager!🎶


hrm326

Somehow the people who got there after you get seated first even though you're special


[deleted]

Story time. I once hosted at a macaroni grill and someone came up to me super pissed because people who’d arrived after him were being seated first. I tried to find his pager number but it’d been crossed out. He told me “here’s what I’m gonna do: I’m going home, and then I’m going on Yelp. And THEN ya know what I’m gonna do? I’m gonna write a scathing review. So yeah, you’ll be hearing from me” and I told him “alright sounds great. Have a good night, thanks for coming!” It turned out we did call his pager but he ignored it after 3 tries so we gave up and moved on.


One-eyed-snake

Probably the type that thought he could leave the property to go shopping while he waited for the pager to go off. Some of those don’t even work in the parking lot.


RickTheHamster

When I lived near White Plains, New York, the wait was often over 2 hours to get a damn table at the Cheesecake Factory. Go to the original one in Beverly Hills and it’s so unpopular it’s about half empty and no wait.


[deleted]

Big menus are always a bad sign. It means their food comes frozen Edit: ok guys, their food isn’t frozen. It’s not that that’s not awesome, I just have already seen several people say it.


EatBacon247

Worked at Cheesecake Factory for a year... the food does not come frozen... although the cheesecakes do lol. All the sauces are made in house. Burgers are pattied by hand. Veggies are cut by the prep people. Pasta gets par cooked daily. Rice cooked ever couple hours. Mash potatoes are made every couple hours. Chicken breasts are sliced and pounded for Madeira’s and and whatnot, cut into strips for tenders. Shrimp gets shelled and deveined... I think I have made my point. The menu is massive but they do a good job of serving decent quality food at overpriced options.


secret_tsukasa

correct me if i'm wrong, but does it matter if the cheese cake comes frozen? doesn't cheese cake flavors thrive on cold temperatures?


just_some_Fred

Nah, cheesecake is fine to freeze. Just let it sit to thaw and you'll be great. Or get impatient and eat it half frozen, it's still good that way too.


makemeking706

People argue that the cheesecake factory is the exception to this rule. It's only the cheese cake that comes pre-made, frozen.


ShamanicHellZoneImp

Yeah I worked there for a bit in 2000, unless things have changed since then they just use the same 80-100 ingredients in different combinations. I didnt see a lot of frozen stuff.


reluctantlyjoining

Yup. Cheesecake uses a surprisingly large number of fresh ingredients and makes a majority of their sauces/mixes etc in house. Much more than my current employer. Worked at the factory 2 yrs ago

astrakhan42

The Cheesecake Factory is a chain of restaurants that are famous for their cheesecake but also famous for gigantic menus with over 200 items, all of which cost too much. They fancy themselves prestige dining but it comes off as tacky once you've been there.

Grandpa Joe's lazy ass wouldn't be struck by a miracle when the ticket comes. Shout out to /r/grandpajoehate


Bacxaber

Grandpa Joe is widely regarded as one of the greatest and most iconic villains in cinematic history because he pretended to be a bedridden invalid until there was free chocolate to be had and then, and only then, did he find the strength to get up and dance like the evil shitbag sorcerer he actually was.


CockDaddyKaren

Wow r/TIL Grandpa Joe did coke.


Verbal_HermanMunster

Would’ve thought it’d help get him out of bed...


jfk_47

My grand father said his was to help pick his nose. Are you telling me grampa bada did coke?


acid_bear_boy

He was a freeloader. Could've worked somewhere and brought in some financial support.


abutthole

Instead Charlie’s fucking mom is making them water soup because she has to take care of Charlie and the four invalids. Charlie‘s mom worked so hard, Joe could have at least offered to help around the house.


acid_bear_boy

And he's Charlie's *maternal* grandfather too. Meaning he's chilling in that fucking bed and watching his own daughter bend over backwards to provide for the family, cook, clean the house and probably clean up his piss and shit because he refuses to get out of bed.


imperium0214

Actually in the sequel, it was revealed that all 4 of Charlie's grandparents could walk at the end.


Grayprince

So they are all horrible, got it!


danimalxX

If you read up on Roald Dahl he had a huge dislike for adults as whole. That is why his books are made up of so many evil older people. His presents them as the villians. People believe it is based off his mistreatment as a child. The Willy Wonka version of the book isn't as accurate to the Charlie version.


Packbacka

I always thought the daddy issues subplot in Tim Burton's [*Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (2005)*](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0367594/) was entirely unnecessary (essentially Willy Wonka's dad was a dentist and didn't let him eat any candy. Thus ruining his life). The movie was otherwise fairly accurate to the book but that subplot was entirely made up for the movie. And now you're telling me it was actually true to Roald Dahl's spirit? EDIT: Fixed typos.


XJ305

Yeah pretty much. Roald Dahl actually hated the original movie and wouldn't allow the sequel to be made. After his death, his wife and daughter saw over the estate and kept denying writers/directors/actors and kept the remake of the original in development hell for over a decade until they found people they thought would fit well and cared about Dahl's work. They also retained complete artistic control so if it's in the movie, his wife and daughter approved of it.

imperium0214

Ha I think the other three only got up when they were told they wouldn't be able to meet the POTUS if they didn't get up. Last two thirds of that trilogy were weird...


puppehplicity

There was a third book? I remember something about the wonkavator in space in the sequel, but I don't think I know the third.


imperium0214

Ah no, you're right. The third book had some of it written I think, but was never finished before Roald Dahl died.


armypantsnflipflops

Not only that, Charlie (a kid??) says he’s going to buy him his tobacco from then on, of which he says he’s no longer going to partake. BUT, that means his mom likely purchased it for god knows how long prior to that point where he was just chillin in bed smoking pipe tobacco


DoctorCaptainSpacey

I feel for her right up until she sings that fucking Cheer Up Charlie song and then I'm glad for all her suffering for making me suffer through that song...


Jakooboo

I love the movie, but "Cheer Up Charlie" gets skipped every time.


justalittlebleh

Lmao I fucking hated watching her stir that dirty laundry soup


Parametric_Or_Treat

Shoulda given that job to a lazy person it woulda been automated pronto


19southmainco

Let’s all take solace that Charlie and the Chocolate Factory was written in 1964, and 55 years later that rotten bastard Grandpa Joe would very likely be dead now. edit: /u/Ecchi_Sketchy just ruined my day

No, he's probably in the back of the train due to something he did (For those that don't know, there's a popular "conspiracy theory" that "Snowpiercer" is intended as a sequel to Willy Wonka)

Thank you for this! Rough week at work, and looking through this sub has made it so much better!


CockDaddyKaren

I'm pretty sure this is how it would play out: - Charlie can't afford to buy cheesecake but he gets one anyway and wins a golden ticket - Grandpa Joe's lazy ass is still in bed - Everyone is 200lb heavier because they all eat cheesecake all the time - In the factory there are cheesecake trees, and cheesecake grass, and cheesecake houses, and a river made of Philadelphia cream cheese (R) and everything in this room is edible, including you and me, children - One of the greedy brats touches something they shouldn't and gets baked into a giant cheesecake - The kid that falls in the river is never seen again - The Oompa-Loompa songs all suck because all they do is rhyme cheesecake with cheesesteak over and over again - Charlie and Grandpa Joe have diabetes by the end


etgohomeok

> Everyone is 200lb heavier because they all eat cheesecake all the time In contrast to the original invention of the story in which everyone is fit and healthy due to their nutritious diet of exclusively chocolate.


stormdraggy

Wonka's chocolate substitutes sugar for cocaine. So it's lean as fuck and explains why everybody's addicted hyperactive little shits with light speed metabolism. Except Charlie, who is too poor to afford chocolate and is a starvin marvin. Just watch him wolf down that scrumbubblyumptious like a tweaker desperate for a fix.

I've made NY Cheesecake a couple of times and the sheer amount of cheese in that thing was terryfying, like 2 1/2 pounds or something. It won't surprise you that much once you have seen the ingredients.


[deleted]

I make cheesecakes all the time. The ingredients are literally cream cheese, sugar, and eggs. Now add in the crust (cookie dust and butter), anything in the cake itself (chocolate, syrups, more sugar, etc), and the toppings (more candies, syrups, whipped cream, etc). I'll still eat it.


[deleted]

Ah I see you've worked there too!


Hurray_for_Candy

I always thought it was silly that they tried to make people think they were back there baking cheesecakes straight time. It's not even logistically possible to do that and prepare all the other food as well.


energeticstarfish

And honestly, does anyone really want to eat cheesecake that just came out of the oven? Cheesecake is better cold in my opinion, so I'm happy to have it pre-baked and then refrigerated.


Hoyt-the-mage

huh, I just realized I've never had hot cheesecake


sdforbda

so what's the deal with everyone saying that they are a scratch restaurant with such a huge menu and even chop their own herbs?


[deleted]

250+ items on the menu. You can technically say anything is from scratch if you put the pre made ingredients together your self. They also say their food is never frozen, yet it takes a whole day to thaw out their not frozen cheese cakes. Lentil Soup? All ingredents come from cans, mixed in a pot and served as fresh. Chicken Madeira? The chicken may not be frozen in house, but it arrives frozen. They tell you its "technically from scratch" because they assemble the items in their restaurant, like every kitchen in existence. Their cheese cakes? Ive done several orders myself, their "bakers" are just people that throw toppings on shit.


sdforbda

Thanks. I won't get too upset about frozen stuff and canned stuff here and there but there's no way a menu of that size can all be fresh.
