We went to Chicago for the weekend a
few years ago and were lucky that it was the weekend of Chicago Food Fair. It is
held downtown in the plaza and every restaurant in Chicago must have a booth
there.
It wasn't until we got to Eli's booth that I thought I'd died and gone to
heaven. They served the best cheesecake I have eaten in my life!
So, if you are in Chicago, don't miss a trip to Eli's. They also sell
cheesecakes on their website which is where I got this recipe.
