The real trouble with reality is that there's no background music.

Lise you've never been to the Cheesecake Factory? Really?

  Go to the orginal starbucks, space needle and the public transit that goes nowhere known as the mono rail.

  The Paramount is cool.

Hi Sportsdude,

  No, I haven't been to the Cheesecake Factory. I heard it is really, really good though. Someone I know just came back from Hawaii and raved about it. Said there was one right here in Seattle... so I'm going to try it one day. Yippee!

I liked it but it is expensive.

Really? Well, price is not a problem so long as food is good. As you can imagine, food is pretty much good everyday right now.

  What do you recommend at the Cheesecake Factory?

well its not super super expensive but if you go for dinner don't be suprised if you main meal is like 15-25 USD (But again I don't know your price range on things).  But its cheaper during lunch hours. What do I recommend? hmm let me think. Well besides the cheesecake

  This is one of everybody's favourites: I had it I loved it.

Hmmmm...... that looks delicious. Maybe I'll try that. Wow. That much for an entree, eh? Well, I don't mind paying if the food's good.

  I'm hungry. NEVER show a pregnant lady picture of food. It's not safe for anyone nearby.

  Thanks for the recommendation.

There strawberry cheesecake.

  I forget what the price of the food was but that dish that I showed I know was like 17 or 18 USD.  Most of the food is 15-20 with the steaks and other sea food being a lot higher in the mid 20's of course.  Its no Applebee's in price terms but it is worth it. Its usually a place my family goes maybe once or twice a year.  Its a big date place but dress is normal because most of the Cheesecake Factories are in malls.
