    I don't know what the Cheesecake Factory is, but this seemed like a wonderful recipe to make. It does take some time to make, but the results were outstanding! I made it exactly as posted and we all enjoyed this over the weekend. A bit like Mexican French onion soup with chicken! Made for PAC spring 2008 - very much enjoyed thanks Brandess. FT
