Here are 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 1800's 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."
