Cities Compete To Take The Cake

Next week, Philadelphia's Davio's steakhouse will compete against New York City's 'Cesca restaurant to finally determine who has the best-placed apostrophe. Haha, not. In honor of National Cheesecake Day, the two Italian eateries are serving their signature cheesecake to prove once and for all that their respective city is home to the world's best.

Each restaurant will ship their cheesecake desserts to the others’ restaurants with serving instructions. From Tuesday, July 26^th, 2011 to Thursday, July 28th, 2011, guests that order the ‘Cheesecake War Dessert’ will be served 1/2 portions of both the Philly-favorite and ‘CESCA’s acclaimed New York dessert on a plate along with a comment cards. With the honor system at work, each restaurant will tally their numbers and announce the winner live on each other’s Twitter and Facebook pages along with a photograph of the losing restaurant's general manager wearing the other city's baseball jersey and eating a little humble pie.
