So I am going to the Cheese Cake Factory

[WCGreen]

With 16 people....

They don't take reservations ....

Three of the people are over 80 .....

Three of the people are under 7 ....

Is there any possible way to have fun .....


And
I
Don't
Like
The
Cheesecake ......

[Sannum]

1. God Speed

I would say drink. Drink a lot.

[WCGreen]

3. There in Lies the Rub.....

I do not drink....

I think I will just grin and bear it...

Get all pissed off inside....

Like a man my age should.....

And then come home and pick a fight on GDP.....

I love this place....

[Droopy]

2. Talk to the octogenarians about what it was like to live through WW2

[WCGreen]

4. Oh and there is a Vietnam Vet as well.....

[CaliforniaPeggy]

5. This sounds difficult, my dear WC....

Hmmm....perhaps you could tell them that you can't eat the cheesecake since your doc wants you to cut the fat from your diet...

You know, he's worried about your cholesterol, or some such...

It's a thought...

Hope you have fun, anyhow!


:hi: :loveya: :hug:

[WCGreen]

6. Oh the food is good.....

But the restaurant just is well yuppie heaven......

[CaliforniaPeggy]

7. How true that is!

We have them out here, too...

I try to stay away from them....

I LOVE their cheesecake...yum!

But the weight has started to come off now...

I am DETERMINED to get it off, and KEEP it off....

So, no cheesecake for this girl....she wants her girlish figure BACK!


:pals:

I always said my girlish figure never went anywhere it's just hidden under all this blubber :)

You look quite svelte in your photographs. Congrats on the weight loss so far!

20. Thanks, aA!

That's a good answer...hidden under all this blubber!

I might look good in my photos, since I've learned the gentle art of camouflage...

My belly is really quite hideous, but it is shrinking! Diet and exercise do the trick...

Very sweet of you to reinforce my resolve...

[auntAgonist]

25. sounds like YOU are doing great!

I don't think you've EVER had blubber though :) Thank goodness for clothing, it hides all of our imperfections. I'm down 100lbs and really need to be motivated to exercise more!

not meaning to hijack this thread!

13. didn't used to be

well, that was a long time ago.
In the early-mid 70's they were in an industrial park and were a lunchbreak type place for the people that worked around them.

I went there a few times with my mother, who worked down the street.

I completely forgot about them until I saw one a few years back in Las Vegas.
Wow had they changed!
(still good food though)

[Arugula Latte]

8. It could be worse -- you could be going to the Olive Garden.

Good Luck!!

[WCGreen]

21. The Horror,,,, The Horror.....

[CaliforniaPeggy]

27. My dear Oregonian!

What do you mean? I happen to LOVE the Olive Garden....

I love their Manicotti, and their Chicken Alfredo...and lots of things that I don't remember the names of....

How COULD you?

[Arugula Latte]

29. Sorry, C.P.!!

To each her own, I guess! :hi:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

34. No worries! Exactly....

:hi: back atcha!

[AlinPA]

9. Order the Shrimp Scampi. Lots of roasted garlic. Big shrimp. And just

enjoy. Smile.

[yewberry]

10. On a Sunday? With 16 people?

I think you've crossed the line from bravery to madness.

[WCGreen]

22. Not my idea......

Hell I wanted to go to a sports bar and watch the Indians

[Gilmore]

11. Good Luck!

I hope it doesn't rain while your party of 16 is waiting outside for a table.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

14. Hey there, Gilmore!

WELCOME TO DU! Hope you have some fun in our crazy little village!


:hi:

[SoCalDem]

12. Seat the 80 yr olds with the kids

:)

[Orangepeel]

15. post again next Sunday and let us know if you've been seated yet

:D

[supernova]

18. Ha!

Well, I do enjoy cheesecake.

My favorite way to enjoy Cheesecake Factory cheesecake is to get take out. No waiting. :-)

Good luck to the op.

[mcscajun]

32. Really. A party of four can wait for an hour...it's okay if you drink.

You can hang out in the bar and plow through their Novel-Length Menu to decide what you're having.

Going to a place that doesn't take reservations with a party of 16? Madness, sheer madness.

To the OP: take whoever is responsible for this out for a beating next weekend, once you've recovered. JUST Kidding...maybe.

[auntAgonist]

17. I sincerely hope you have a wonderful time!

I've never been to the Cheesecake factory and cheesecake is one of my favourite desserts!

baked cheesecake,not the refrigerator dream whip kind, the real stuff :)

[Heidi]

19. Take on Rabrrrrr as a partner. He's _that_ sweet

and sour.

[WCGreen]

23. I will need the help....

[WCGreen]

24. After gettin' my self all gussied up....

I am off....

If I am not back in four hours....

Send Dennis Kucinich and five vegans to look for me......

[CaliforniaPeggy]

28. We will do that!

Have a blast!

[ComerPerro]

26. No. there is no possible way

And, let me guess. Everyone wants to go at "around seven".

You'll be eating by 9:30, maybe...


Good luck

30. I didn't like cheesecake until I tried

Whole Foods cheesecake. It's orgasmic.

[driver8]

31. My wife says "have a few Bloody Marys"...try the chicken piccata,

it is amazing. I had it the last time I went.

[mcscajun]

33. I have three words for the folks that don't like Cheesecake...

...but find themselves in The Cheesecake Factory: Warm Apple Crisp.

It's to die for, and even Two people can't finish it, unless one of them is very, very hungry and determined.
