Some cheesecake facts you may not know:
According to Cheesecake.com, the first "cheese cake" may have been created over 4,000 years ago by the Greeks.
It was thought to be a good source of energy and evidence shows "cheese cake" was served to Greek athletes during the first Olympic games in 776 B.C.
New York-style cheesecake was invented in the late 1800s by a man who was invited to a dinner party, "where the hostess served a cheese pie. Allegedly, he was so intrigued by this dish that he experimented with the recipe until he came up with the beloved NY Style cheesecake."
