National Cheesecake Day!
June 30, 2016 is National Cheesecake Day, a likely commercially driven holiday to which I, for one, am happy to fall victim. Adam’s PB Cup Fudge Ripple is one of my favorites and also one of the worst (go figure).
History (#4)
- Believed to have originated around 2,000 BC in Greece
- Was served to athletes in first Olympic games as a source of energy
- Original recipe, documented in 230 AD was: mashed cheese, honey, flour heated into a mass
- Around 18th century, more modern-like recipe emerged
Facts
- Sonya Thomas holds the record for eating 11 pounds of cheesecake in 9 min. (9/26/2004). (#5)
- Largest Cheesecake weight 6,900 pounds and was formed in Lowville, NY on 9/21/2013.
The cake measured 2.292 m (7 ft 6.25 in) in diameter, and .787 m (2 ft 7 in) tall. (#6)
Cheesecake Factory
Cheesecake Factory, back in 2013, began using IBM big data analytics to analyze consumption and ingredients on products across all their locations (#1). They also had 2.1b in revenue in 2015 (#3).
