Can you have too much of a good thing? Economists, buffet-goers , fans of Boston-based sports teams, and many, many others have pondered this topic, ad nauseam, since… well, good things have existed debatably, the first good thing was "fire," of which you can certainly have too much. On my first trip to the Cheesecake Factory , the middle-class fanciest restaurant this side of Bonefish Grill, I have to admit, I was overwhelmed. I assumed the menu in front of me was a misplaced coffee table book.

Through hard work and determination their business grew to a modest size and Evelyn was soon baking more than 20 varieties of cheesecakes and other desserts. Somehow he just knew that guests would enjoy a restaurant with an extensive dessert menu. The idea behind the chain started in Detroit, Michigan, where founder David Overton grew up. Before going into the restaurant business, Overton was in a band. There's a reason why the menu is so long. The chain sells more than 30 flavors of cheesecake and will ship it across the US.
