Cheese Cake Fantasy Number 437

Since returning from a recent trip to New York, I’ve come to the conclusion that I simply don’t eat enough cheesecake. We had tastings (some the size of city blocks, like the mega slices at Stage Deli) almost everywhere we went, and that creamy-yet-dense tanginess is quintessentially New York. We loved the hefty slice at BLT steak, dressed up with rhubarb and raspberry sorbet, and Kobe Club offered a large portion size as well, enough for three, maybe four — but who’s counting? Good thing it keeps in the hotel room’s honor bar for breakfast.
In Atlanta, I love the light, lemony tang of the delicate portion at Repast, and the creme brulee-like version served in a ramekin at Maxim Prime and Stella Trattoria in Grant Park. The sweet potato cheesecake at Sweet Auburn Bread Company will make you want to slap your grandma. But my search is on: who makes the BEST cheesecake in Atlanta?
