The Cheesecake Factory finally comes to Utah

Out of courtesy to my wife, I have to announce to those who may not have heard the buzz, that The Cheesecake Factory is opening its Salt Lake City restaurant on Thursday. She’s been waiting for this for a long time.She took me to eat there when we were in San Diego last month and I must admit that it wasn’t too bad. I especially liked the atmosphere, the food was good, and of course I’d be hard pressed to find their cheesecake’s equal. I think I got the stuffed chicken tortillas, which were very good, and my wife got the tasty miso salmon. I’ve tried many a salmon and this one is right up there at the top of my list.

I remember last year there was a big story in the news that The Cheesecake Factory and Crate and Barrel would not come to Utah because we didn’t have a population with at least 35 percent college graduates. I don’t know if the numbers went up, but I’m glad that at least one of them decided to come to Utah anyway. With the amount of people that go out to eat in this state, I think a establishing a reputable restaurant is a pretty safe bet.
