Hello. Hi, Rosabel. How are you? I'm good. How are you? I'm good. I'm just wondering,

I know you've got a really busy day. You've got a lot of things on, but I'm just wondering if you could squeeze me in to your schedule for the podcast.

Well, you might have to book in a time with my management.

We're doing an episode about the cheesecake factory, and I'm wondering what you can tell

me about the cheesecake factory. Okay, so I think the only thing I know about the cheesecake

factory is from like half listening to you talk about it. Half listening, excuse me. Well,

I think most of the time I'm only half listening to you.

Fair. Is it kind of like P.F. Chang's? I think you're probably right. As in, it's very big,

and it sells a lot of food. Yeah, I, Cheesecake Factory. I mean, Factory makes it sound like

there's a lot of food so yeah so they started

with cheesecake and then just made some other food because they got insecure or what that's what i am

genuinely quite curious about all i know is they have cheesecake but also literally everything else as well

okay well i'm looking forward to learning more.

Yeah, well, when you half listen to this episode, maybe you can learn something for once.

I'm David Farrier, and New Zealand are accidentally marooned in America, and I want to

figure out what makes this country tick.

Now, despite living here for about four years now, there are still lots of American

activities I haven't done yet, and one in particular that stood out. I have never eaten

at the Cheesecake Factory. All I really knew about the Cheesecake Factory is that they're very

big, big restaurants, big menus, big portions. This led Men's Health magazine to calling

the Cheesecake Factory the worst family restaurant in America,

while a scientific study found out that one of their chicken dishes had more calories than a 12-piece bucket of fried chicken from KFC.
