Out With the Old: These Dishes Are Getting the Axe
The restaurant chain told PEOPLE that 13 dishes are leaving Cheesecake Factory’s menu:

In an interview with Nation’s Restaurant News in 2017, Cheesecake Factory Founder David Overton said the restaurant’s menu is constantly evolving. In fact, it changes twice a year.
“We’ve changed the menu twice a year, every year, for 40 years,” Overton said at the time. “That’s what keeps people interested. And it keeps us current. We don’t rest on our laurels. There’s nothing that America wants to eat that can’t go on the Cheesecake Factory menu. And I think we’ve improved it.”
