I made this cheesecake for Thanksgiving and IT WAS AWFUL!!!!! Maybe I did something wrong - I've never made a cheese cake before this. But I followed the recipe exactly and it was bland and the consistency was just bad. But I just wanted to let you know not to be fooled by that 5 star restaurant guy's comments. Because it is just bad.
