Readers' Pick: MARIE CALLENDER'S RESTAURANTS & BAKERIES
Multiple locations
Talk about your heated rivalries. Last year, Marie Callender's and The Cheesecake Factory tied in this category. This year, Marie Callender's took the nod by a mere one vote. Ms. C offers a wonderful array of pies and delectably decadent desserts. Your second-place nod went, of course, to The Cheesecake Factory, and we smell the unforgettable scent of a rivalry in the air.
Our Pick: THE CHEESECAKE FACTORY
The Forum Shops at Caesars
3500 S. Las Vegas Blvd.
The upscale Cheesecake Factory devotes two full pages of its spiral-bound menu to a dizzying (or maybe it's just one of those blood sugar things) array of ice cream sundaes, cakes and, of course, nearly three dozen varieties of cheesecake. Still, we can't help but wonder whether the restaurant's name might also have something to do with that lingerie ad we saw in the menu not long ago.
