The Cheesecake Factory is not really native to Denver, actually it's a chain that started from Beverly Hills, California. I first tasted a slice of their cheesecake in Chicago about four years ago and remembered it pretty good (it helps that I'm quite fond of cheesecake to begin with), so when I chanced upon this one along the 16th street mall, I decided to hop in for a little arvo snack.
We started off with a slice of their popular strawberry cheesecake. Rich and creamy cheesecake with the tart contrast of the glazed strawberries. This was as good as I remembered it to be. The freshly whipped cream on the side had that hint of vanilla which was most welcomed as well.
The hot chocolate was pretty decent. But being a rather warm day, I guess I just didn't appreciate it that much. I also felt it was a little too sweet as I prefer my hot choc slightly bitter.
The Godiva chocolate cheesecake tasted pretty good at the start as it was extremely rich but halfway we got quite tired of it quite frankly. The chocolate seemed to be overpowering the cheese flavor and it was just a tad bit too heavy for us to finish. I still prefer the subtlety and balance of flavors in their strawberry cheesecake.
Wow, if I thought the hot chocolate was too sweet, I guess I wasn't ready for their caramel latte. This stuff will induce hyperglycemia. None of us could finish this bummer of a beverage. I guess, in the end, their conventional cheesecakes are really what they are good for. Hence, the name.D

Hi Dancing Blue Seal,
I thought you and your readers might be interested in Wine Wednesdays at Carrabba's Italian Grill (Denver only!) and some new menu items (all locations).
Wine Wednesdays will run through September. Wednesday night guests who order a bottle of wine will also receive a complimentary appetizer. Carrabba's has an affordable, award-winning wine list and guests who don't finish the wine while dining are free to take it home in one of the restaurant's "wine doggie bags" to enjoy it later.
Additionally, Carrabba's is featuring some new additions to its menu. The Seafood Di Venezia and Piatto di Pollo dishes will be available through September and highlight the lighter, seasonal flavors of summer.
Please let me know if you have any questions or need any additional information. I really appreciate your consideration of posting information about Wine Wednesdays and our latest menu items. Graphics are available upon request.
If you would be interested in joining us for Wine Wednesdays and reviewing your dining experience for your readers, I’d love to send you a complimentary dining certificate for two. Please respond with your mailing address if you’d like dinner on us!
Thanks!
