We have definitely become a cheesecake loving family, I have to admit it is one of my favourite desserts.
While I was in Toronto this past 2 months, whenever we went out for dinner, we would always order one dessert and 3 forks and yup Cheesecake was always the dessert of choice. We ate some meh cheesecake and some omg this is the best cheesecake.
But we all agreed our favourite Cheesecake was the one we ate in a pub in Yorkville, called the The Bedford Academy, and the burger was pretty good too!
