Friends-

  I wanted to share an email from the Cheesecake Factory on eating there gluten-free.  My image of them is blown-they put gelatin and artificial vanilla in their Godiva cheesecake??  Thank God, my mother is a wonderful all natural, gluten-free baker.  No BS goes into her New York style cheesecake.

  Dear Ms. Tappen:

Thank you for your interest in The Cheesecake Factory.  Our goal is to
provide our guests
the best information possible.

Although we prepare dishes that we do not add wheat, oats, rye or
barley, our concern is
that some sub-ingredients may contain trace amounts of gluten.  In
addition, we do not
have separate cooking equipment to prepare flour and no-flour based
items.

We understand that sensitivities can vary. Our managers will be happy
to help you select
dishes that we do not add wheat, oats, rye or barley however, because
your health is our
primary concern, we recommend non-marinated vegetables, chicken, steak,
shrimp or
fish pan cooked as opposed to grilled.

The only cheesecake that does not contain wheat flour is our Godiva
Cheesecake. I have
provided the ingredients for the Godiva Cheesecake below so that you
can determine if it
is safe for you to eat. I also must caution you that all of our
cheesecakes are produced in
the same facility and we therefore cannot guarantee against cross
contamination.

INGREDIENTS: Cream (Cream, Mono & Diglycerides, Polysorbate 80,
