The Cheesecake Factory#In popular culture

Evelyn Overton, inspired by a cheesecake recipe from a Detroit newspaper, made a cheesecake for her husband's employer in the 1940s. The cheesecake was well-received, and subsequently led her to open a small cheesecake bakery in Detroit, Michigan, in the late 1950s. She closed the bakery to raise her children, but continued supplying cheesecakes to local restaurants from her basement kitchen. In 1967, Evelyn's son David M. Overton left Detroit to attend Hastings College of Law in San Francisco, but in 1968, decided to be a drummer, performing with the Billy Roberts Blues Band.{{cite web |title=Five decades of cheesecake: A history |url=http://www.thecheesecakefactory.com/frames.asp?fm=aboutus&pg=http://www.thecheesecakefactory.com/aboutus_timeline.htm |website=The Cheesecake Factory |access-date=17 March 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20051103175227/http://www.thecheesecakefactory.com/frames.asp?fm=aboutus&pg=http://www.thecheesecakefactory.com/aboutus_timeline.htm |archive-date=3 November 2005}}{{cite web |last=Luna |first=Nancy |title=The 45-year history of The Cheesecake Factory: How a family bakery turned into global restaurant chain with an enormous menu |website=Business Insider |date=29 August 2023 |url=https://www.businessinsider.com/cheesecake-factory-turned-a-family-bakery-into-global-restaurant-chain-2023-8 |access-date=13 February 2025}} In 1971, David convinced his parents to relocate to Los Angeles to open a commercial bakery.

In 1978, Evelyn's son David opened the Cheesecake Factory, a small salad-and-sandwich restaurant in Beverly Hills that sold ten varieties of cheesecakes on a one-page menu. In 1983, he opened a second restaurant in Marina del Rey. By 1987, the Beverly Hills location had expanded into a 78-seat restaurant and was experiencing great financial success. This led to the opening of a third, larger location in Redondo Beach, which was eventually renovated into a 300-seat, {{convert|21000|sqft|adj=on}} location. By the end of the 1980s, the Cheesecake Factory's one-page menu had expanded, and the restaurant offered additional fast-food and short-order items.
