Cheesecake Factory began with a cheesecake recipe in a newspaper in Detroit in the 1940s, and that recipe inspired Evelyn Overton “Original” cheesecake. In 1972, she and her husband moved to L.A. to open The Cheesecake Factory Bakery selling cheesecakes to the best restaurants in town. In 1978, their son David opened a restaurant to feature his mother’s desserts. There was a line around the block the first day.
