History of Eli's Cheesecake

Restaurateur Eli Schulman created cheesecake as the signature dessert for his legendary Chicago steakhouse almost 40 years ago. By breaking all the rules of traditional cheesecake baking, he created "Chicago Style" cheesecake: richer and creamier than its NY counterpart, with a shortbread cookie crust instead of a graham one. Frequently referred to as a Chicago icon, Eli's has grown from a local favorite to creating giant cheesecakes for four Presidential Inaugural celebrations in Washington DC. and many of Chicago's celebratory moments, including Chicago's 150^th and Illinois 200^th birthdays. Still a family-owned business, Eli's turns out over 20,000 cheesecakes and desserts daily at Eli's Cheesecake World on Chicago's northwest side. Eli's attributes its success to a strong commitment to quality, empowering its workforce and following Eli Schulman's mantras "Charity will never bust you" and "Treat others as if you were the other."
