This is one of the best pancake recipes in NYC (the pancake itself sells for $12 each, and $16 for 2)

@Matt! Middle class & poor chicken (a loss leader for costco) vs. the store where the rich/celebs go to avoid the poor:

I love choco cake.

The objectively correct order: cheesecake > chocolate cake > rest of the cakes.

EDIT: Buy a raw chicken and learn to cook it yourself, it’s probably the same meat = profit.

the costco chicken is actually cheaper than the raw chicken in the store $7-8. Like the hotdogs, they lose money on the chicken

Well that's strange.

The best dessert I've ever had in the cheesecake factory is the #37 the chocolate truffle cake. It is one of the the best chocolate cakes I've ever eaten.

I had choco truffle cake at my mom’s birthday last month - can confirm, it’s amazing.

truffle cake is amazing and insanely addictive.

tbh I usually think that truffle cake is the best, sometimes a great mocha cake can be found and the russian multi-layer honey cakes are extremely good.

It is! Maybe a little too rich for me though..definitely a once-a-year birthday kinda treat. Cheesecake is still the king for me.

What is your favorite cheesecake/s?

my main issue is that bakeries usually don't have truffle cake of that quality- my nearby bakery's best chocolate cake is a mousse cake that I get maybe 1-2 times a year.

Well, since I just learned there’s more than one type of cheesecake, I’ll play it extra safe and go with the regular one? lol

Mousse cakes are mid and I don’t do mousse on my mustache.
