The Cheesecake Factory has plenty of delicious options, but it's not exactly the best place to eat out at if you're on a diet. While not every item on the menu is equally horrifying, there are certain ones you should absolutely avoid if you want to stay healthy.
There's a reason why The Cheesecake Factory's huge menu is all over the map. When it opened in 1972, founder and CEO David Overton needed a place to sell his mom's cheesecakes.
Overton wasn't a chef, and he had no previous restaurant experience. He needed a menu that he could cook himself, so he initially focused on classic American fare: burgers and fries, sandwiches, and salads. But other restaurants with specialty cuisine were stiff competition, and Overton didn't want to lose business to them. So the company expanded the menu haphazardly, adding Mexican dishes, Italian dishes, and hybrids of both. Anything that could be conceivably ordered, Overton added to the menu.
This throw-it-to-the-wall-and-see-if-it-sticks philosophy gave birth to the Louisiana Chicken Pasta. This Frankenstein-esque creation won the 2015 Xtreme Eating Award as one of the top five worst restaurant-chain meals. It consists of four breaded and fried slices of chicken breast placed on bowtie pasta with a spicy New Orleans sauce. One portion contains 2,370 calories, meaning that you could go over your daily quota without even finishing it.

What do you think about The Cheesecake Factory?
Well the thing is if you are worried sooooo much about calories, sodium and loosing weight then don't eat at the Cheese cake factory. I myself, enjoy the Cheese cake factory every once in awhile. It's not like I eat this every day or eat that many calories/sodium every day. It's fine to spurge once in awhile. On the video I have only had the chicken pot stickers. Actually they really are good. Everything else I am not inclined to try. Although maybe I would try the cinnamon pan cakes
Yeah, let's make a health food video about a restaurant named 'The Cheesecake Factory'. Imbeciles.
I don't like the cheesecake. I rather have a slice of Junior's Cheesecake.
I've only ate there a couple of times, but someone mentioned below as you did in the video, the menu is overkill. Having a dozen options for every main course section of the menu is insanity. The tex mex egg rolls are surprisingly good though not gonna lie Edit: probably should clarify I don't agree with the basis of the video as far as diet advice goes. Everyone has a responsibility to know their own intake needs. I only think their menu is WAY too big.
@Greg Brooks hear hear!!! What he said.
You shouldn't buy pasta from any restaurant in general. Pasta is an extremely cheap ingredient thats a filler base. Take this advice like a gold nugget. No matter what type of sauce they put on top it aint worth it.
These r all EXACTLY the items u shud order if u r looking to have a good time. Lose the fat lose the taste
She can’t say Pasta or Avocado.
"The Cheesecake Factory" Where is the factory? I am watching the video and it is "Cheesecake and variety dishes Restaurant" 🤷🤔 (confusing)!
No video is gonna tell me what I can and can’t eat at the Cheesecake Factory. It’s not like I eat like this daily. I get that Americans should eat more healthy, but life is too short not to explore and indulge every once and a while.
Me, I'd rather go to a small local restaurant for a good meal than a corporate chain like Cheesecake Factory.
Isn’t the point of going out to eat ( especially in light of the pandemic) to indulge yourself?!
I think this video was a little over the top on chastising the menu at cheesecake factory. Perhaps you should change the name of your channel to "Bashed".
most people leave with leftovers for meals the next day
But this place was in The Big Bang Theory ........😂...😶....
My feet were swelling just watching the sodium levels . Ugh...
Why is this about staying healthy and not about taste?
This makes me glad we don't have The Cheesecake Factory nearby.
I think I saved my own life by NEVER eating there. Now, I never will in the future.
I worked there years and years ago. There was this dish called jamba rice that isn't on the menu but for whatever reason, the upstairs prep kitchen would cook it every morning. My section would secretly trade foods/ espresso drinks for it through the dummy waiter.
Wow. So interesting trivia.
It is rare but fun. We all know that.
They do have an amazing vegan cob salad.
Yeah, last thing I'm gonna do is a have some click baitey YT channel telling me what I can eat
If I ate at the Cheesecake Factory every single day, this video would really worry me. You're there to indulge. It would be the equivalent of attending an orgy and just getting a hand job.
If the calories are too high, don't eat there. Restaurants are special occasion eating. If you eat like it's a festival every day it's a problem. If you want something special eat something special. If you want diet food, go to a salad bar.
Cheesecake Factory knows calories are all we have left
Why the hell would I wanna go to Cheesecake Factory if I wanted to "stay healthy"??? It's great! Go every now and then...and EAT!
Never order these items at The Cheesecake Factory: 1. *ANYTHING BESIDES CHEESECAKE*
Who the f*ck goes to the Cheese Factory to eat healthy? 😆
most of this advice is unnecessary - I go to CF to have a piece of cheesecake for lunch with a cup of coffee, and another piece of cheesecake for dessert ♥
Pumpkin cheesecake 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I love your channel I think you have a good program 🙂 that takes a lot of time.ken machine nc 🙂 Romans 10.9
Never order anything at Cheesecake Factory! A menu that big means most of it is premade frozen portions that they toss into a microwave!
Calories don't worry me, it's the huge amounts of sugar and sodium! I guess that's what it takes to make their food taste so awesome, because it does.
Cheesecake factory what u expert
That pasta napoletana cannot be that high in fat, 221g of fat=roughly 2000 calories so they basically have only 100 grams of pasta? something does not seem right
What??? Pasta Napoletana is soooo good! Its my go to dish at Cheesecake Factory
Louisiana chicken pasta is the best thing on that huge menu. 2300 calories?? Ok. Eat half now, half the next day on a 2 day warrior diet
Love the Chicken Caesar salad ! Always share with my honey❤
I don’t order anything from Cheesecake Factory. It’s always too crowded, way too noisy, and too expensive for what you get. Oh...and the cheesecake is all THAT good.
Aren't they shutting down?
An asteroid could hit tomorrow who cares. Eat what you want.
WTF? this is what you should order.
No wonder my brothers love this place!😳
Aka what you SHOULD order at the cheesecake factory
Right?! the Louisiana chicken pasta is BOMB
And it’s not like people eat these rich dishes everyday of the week...a splurge is good for the sole now and again!
@A King i think OP meant fish? I could be wrong though.... 😜
Nah it's good for the sole species 🤣
Exactly my point too. If people are that worried of calories in such then don't eat there simple
The physical soul not shoe, right?
But does any of the items taste good? Are they shareable? Why is Cheesecake Factory still open? Because people still want the freedom to eat whatever interests them. If it works, great! If not, order a glass of water. Geez
Or iced tea.
Ahem, CHEESECAKE. The name says it all
Here's an even better idea.................... NEVER eat at the Cheese-shit_factory!
They need to cut some items
Thought the same thing the first time I ate there
I ordered the chicken and avocado salad, and a big coke. I got hyper for the next 4 years.
