Adventures in cooking eating: Stuffed Mushrooms (filled with cheese, garlic and herbs in wine sauce), Shrimp Scampi Crostini (topped with white wine, tomatoes and garlic in lemon butter sauce) and Pumpkin Cheesecake (with lots of whipped cream) from The Cheesecake Factory I’m not sure how he lived, but Brad had never been to The Cheesecake Factory before Friday. One bad thing about our restaurant pick was they don’t take reservations on weekends. We were told upon arrival it would be an hour wait, but luckily it was only about 40 minutes. We tried out the above two small plates (photos stolen from the Web site) and were UH-mazed at the amount of flavor packed into such small bites of food. The sauces were incredible and I will be making a similar recipe for stuffed mushrooms this weekend. As an entree, I ordered Pasta Carbonara and Brad ordered Stuffed Chicken Tortillas. One thing I love about the menu is its versatility — you can order Asian, Italian, Mexican, seafood and even breakfast food. Anyone who has experienced The Cheesecake Factory knows their portions could feed a small army, so we took our Pumpkin Cheesecake to go. We couldn’t hold off for too long though. We ate it for breakfast the next morning.
