Cheesecake - As a longtime fan, I'm pleased to announce that today is the 25th anniversary of the first Cheesecake Factory. While they are still very underrepresented in Northern California (I'm not seeing a Sac location coming anytime soon), at least the future holds a new location in downtown Palo Alto and two in Northern Virginia. While I didn't make it to sister concept Grand Luxe Cafe while in Vegas, it's definitely on my list next time I'm at the Bev Center or in Chicago.
