Eli's Cheesecake is a cheesecake company based in Chicago, Illinois. Eli's original plain cheesecake, which has been called "Chicago's most famous dessert", is made of cream cheese, sour cream, eggs, sugar, and vanilla in a butter shortbread cookie crust.
During the late 1970s, Eli Schulman developed the original plain cheesecake as a dessert for his Chicago steakhouse, called Eli's: The Place for Steak. The cheesecake represented the restaurant at the first Taste of Chicago in 1980, and it eventually became the festival's most popular dessert, with about 2 million slices sold as of 2005. Eli's: The Place for Steak closed in 2005, but the cheesecakes are still being produced for customers throughout the world at a 62,000 square foot factory in Chicago's Dunning neighborhood.
Eli's has made cheesecakes for two American presidential inaugurations. In 1997, they made a 2,000 pound cheesecake for Bill Clinton's inauguration ceremonies, and January 2009, they produced a 500 pound cheesecake for Barack Obama's inaugural ball. On June 27, 2009, Eli's Cheesecake made a 2,000 pound cheesecake to commemorate the Burnham Plan Centennial, as well as the twenty-ninth anniversary of the Taste of Chicago and Eli's Cheesecake.
We meet about once a month to discuss topics related to Chicago Social Media Marketing .
