In February of 2015, a friend and I decided to create the "Cheesecake Factory" tour.  The idea began in Arlington, VA after several Long Island Iced Tea's at happy hour.  After further discussion, we decided we would try and get to a many of them as possible during our trips.  On this particular tour of Florida, we got off to a soggy start today with rain on the drive south.  We reached Tampa the for our first stop at the Westshore Cheesecake Factory.  We picked up our tour mascot, Chris. Isn't he cute.......

On our first stop, we met a friend for lunch.
 

The Chocolate Tuxedo Cheesecake was tasty but has not overtaken Chris' Outrageous for the top pick.

Here is another contender for top pick....Dulce de leche.  Yummy!

Continuing our drive South, we made it to Naples, FL for dinner and topped off the day with with Red Velvet!

This is an ongoing journey for my friend and I.  At last count, we have visited 10 separate restaurants.  At each stop, we tried to enjoy a different flavor and always splitting the piece but we tend to really enjoy Chris' Outrageous.  One other consent has been the Long Island Iced Tea, they too are a staple of the visits.  Trying to pick a new flavor for each stop is always difficult due to the number of flavors on the menu. 

There will be more to come on the ongoing Cheesecake journey!
 Enjoy the journey.....
