An unlikely pair that's bound to create a wonderful food friendship.
We hold an infinite amount of love for The Cheesecake Factory. Their prolific restaurant menu is to die for… and that’s not even including dessert. With over 30 kinds of cheesecake available, it’s basically impossible to choose just one. That’s why you always see me walking out with three different kinds! On another very different note, we also love Long John Silver’s. They have a delicious seafood menu themselves (have you tried the hush puppies?).
Now take the decadent cheesecakes from Cheesecake Factory and combine them with Long John Silver’s tasty fast food. We’re ready to catch the perfect bite.
What Cheesecakes Are Coming to Long John Silver’s?
How does one even begin to choose which cheesecakes to display from Cheesecake Factory? With over 30 flavors and counting, it has to be a pretty tough decision. There is one fact that still rings true regardless of the situation—you can’t go wrong with a classic. Did you know that The Cheesecake Factory has never changed its original recipe? We’ve even got a copycat Classic Cheesecake recipe for you to make at home (and it’s just as delicious).
That being said, Long John Silver’s is adding two Cheesecake Factory cheesecakes to its menu, the Classic Cheesecake and the Triple Chocolate Cheesecake. The Classic Cheesecake sits in a sweet graham cracker crust while the Triple Chocolate Cheesecake is layered on top of a chocolate cookie crust with a delicious chocolate filling and topped with chocolate chips and chocolate ganache. Could I order a whole one now, please?
When Will They Be Available?
You can grab your cheesecake from Long John Silver’s starting April 24. This is a wonderful way to start the spring season, especially with Mother’s Day and Father’s Day coming in fast. Until then, check out these copycat Cheesecake Factory recipes to tide you over.
You can’t go wrong with a slice of The Cheesecake Factory’s original cheesecake. A slice at the restaurant doesn’t come with glazed strawberries, but you can add some to your copycat recipe if you like!
