Cheesecake Time with the Iconic Eli’s Cheesecake (#36)

June 09, 2019

Guest: Marc & Maureen Schulman
I've heard about Eli's Cheesecake for years, and not because I live in Chicago. When I knew Shavout was coming up I thought it would be the perfect time to see if I could get an interview with Marc Schulman, President of Eli's Cheesecake. It turned into a great conversation with Marc, learning more about this company and their cheesecakes. I even had the opportunity to talk with Maureen, his wife and co-creator of their amazing cookbook: Eli's Cheesecake Cookbook- Remarkable Recipes from a Chicago Legend. Warning: you might want to have some cheesecake handy, it will be difficult to listen to the episode and not have some at the ready ... just saying.
Check out the giant cheesecake below- it was made in Chicago and traveled all the way to Washington DC for President Obama's Inauguration in 2013.
