Cheesecake Factory slammed for ‘sad' new portion sizes on its signature item: ‘This makes me mad'
Are they serving slimmer slices of this fattening fave? Foodies with a hankering for hulking hunks of cheesecake are calling out the dessert's eponymous restaurant for allegedly skimping on its serving sizes amid the 'shrinkflation' crisis. 'The last couple of times I got a slice of cheesecake it was about half the size of the usual slice,' wrote a Cheesecake Factory whistleblower on Reddit, emphasizing their outrage with a pic of a 'sad' to-go piece of what appears to be the eatery's Adam's Peanut Butter Cup Fudge Ripple delicacy. Advertisement 5 A Reddit user claims the portion size of their dessert from the Cheesecake Factory is noticeably smaller than usual, while its calorie count remains the same. Reddit/Fancy—Wolf 'What is more disturbing is that the calories per slice listed on their website have not changed,' the Redditor ranted, 'which would make one assume they should be getting the same size of slices.' For folks with a sweet tooth, receiving a skinny slab of cake cuts deep. Advertisement But, unfortunately, peewee portions aren't limited to after-dinner indulgences nowadays. 5 McDonald's, PepsiCo and more have been accused of shrinking goods without decreasing their prices. JR-50 – From tampons to toilet paper, from McDonald's sandwich patties to Costco cookies, everyday items are shrinking in scale — but not in cost. Shrinkflation, a pox that has most recently plagued society since the pandemic, is a sneaky form of inflation that sees businesses reduce a product's size or value, yet offer it at the same retail price as its former glory. Advertisement Imprints such as PepsiCo, Arby's and Kleenex have also been called out for reportedly committing the 'deceptive' downsizing. And now, apparently, it's the Cheesecake Factory's turn in the hot seat. The Post has reached out to the restaurant chain for comment. 5 The Cheesecake Factory is the latest brand to be blasted for offering customers 'shrinkflation'-sized goods. Christopher Sadowski 5 Stunned social media users were incensed by the Redditor's tiny slice of cake. morozov_photo – Advertisement 5 Online critics claim the serving sizes at The Cheesecake Factory have become smaller and smaller in recent years, Facebook/Cheesecake Factory 'This makes me mad. Like WTH,' a ticked commenter roared beneath the Reddit post. 'That sucks.' 'All serving sizes at Cheesecake Factory have gone down,' another declared. 'That slice is way smaller than it was 10 years ago. Probably also costs nearly double.' 'Remember everything is a transaction. They don't care about you specifically, they want your money,' carped a complainer. 'I remember getting massive slices and not being able to finish them in one sitting and having to split it up over a day or two,' said another. 'Now, they're all gone in a matter of minutes! Kinda disappointed.' 'They have been getting smaller since COVID,' a bellyacher agreed. 'And the price goes up.'

For these documentary directors, HBO is the anti-'Predictable Content Channel'
When Oscar winner Alex Gibney sent HBO Documentary Films executives an early cut of his new movie, 'Wise Guy: David Chase and the Sopranos,' he was blindsided by the feedback he received. 'God bless HBO, they said, 'This is so good — make it longer.' I rarely get that note.' In the streaming world, documentaries have exploded, with newcomers like Netflix and Hulu chasing the next binge-worthy sensation. But HBO Documentary Films, which started in a nascent form in the late 1970s, remains a distinguished player, regarded as an especially prestigious and director-driven home for nonfiction fare. To understand why, it helps to talk to filmmakers who have recently worked with HBO — including Gibney, whose two-part documentary chronicles both Chase and his groundbreaking series across a sweeping canvas. 'I have a hard time making short docs,' jokes Gibney, whose 2023 MGM+ documentary 'In Restless Dreams: The Music of Paul Simon' stretched 3½ hours. ('Wise Guy,' initially two hours, is now roughly that length.) 'But [HBO] said, 'You've got all this great stuff. You should lean into this and that.'' Many directors echo this appreciation for the freedom HBO affords them to do what they want in a commercial space often dictated by algorithms and house styles. For Matt Wolf, the man behind 'Pee-wee as Himself,' about Paul Reubens and his alter ego Pee-wee Herman, it was important to craft a nuanced portrait. 'We had a lot of autonomy and made the film very independently,' Wolf says, 'until we were at the postproduction stage, when HBO became vital partners,' alluding to Reubens' shocking 2023 death, which revealed that the performer had privately been battling cancer. 'Some partners might've said, 'Paul's passed away, this is newsworthy — we need a film in a few months,'' Wolf says. 'But HBO was amazing in seeing that this is an evergreen story and that it wasn't a rush. It was more about doing something with gravitas that could be profound and emotional. That takes time, and they gave me that time.' Still, HBO offers its filmmakers plenty of notes — and has from the start. In 1979, Sheila Nevins was hired to run the channel's burgeoning documentary programming, eventually becoming president of HBO Documentary Films. 'Back then, HBO was a haven to make these really cool films,' recalls Oscar-nominated director Nanette Burstein, who first worked with Nevins as a co-writer and editor on 1995's 'Before You Go: A Daughter's Diary.' 'Sheila was the queen, and she was great at it. She gave pointed notes: 'This is what I think should happen.'' In 2019, Nevins left HBO for MTV Documentary Films, but Burstein, whose HBO documentary 'Elizabeth Taylor: The Lost Tapes' recontextualizes the Hollywood legend through a never-before-heard interview, credits current heads Nancy Abraham and Lisa Heller, along with Senior Vice President Sara Rodriguez, with continuing Nevins' championing of the director's voice. That said, Burstein adds, the present regime is 'very much respectful of a filmmaker and less — what's the diplomatic term?' She chuckles. 'Sheila had a very strong opinion. [Now] it's more of a discussion.' 'Sheila Nevins deserves enormous credit, not only for documentaries at HBO but documentaries, period,' agrees Gibney. 'She showed that they can be wildly entertaining, even when they're not about celebrities. She had a sense that they have to be viscerally powerful — they can't be like spinach.' But like Burstein, he acknowledges Nevins' firm point of view: 'I had some difficult conversations with her [about my films]. I would argue with her. Sometimes I accepted [her notes], sometimes I didn't.' Lance Oppenheim, director of 'Ren Faire,' a juicy soap opera about a battle for control of the Texas Renaissance Festival, was grateful HBO doesn't impose a mandate for how its movies look and feel. 'That's really admirable in this day and age when other buyers and streamers algorithmically make stuff,' he says. 'You can see it in some of the things that feel like they're being spoon-fed to us. They were always so open to the stylization [of 'Ren Faire'] that maybe other places would be a little bit intimidated by — or would've asked me to tell the story a little straighter.' No one expects a straightforward documentary from Eric Goode, director of Netflix's 2020 hit 'Tiger King.' His follow-up, 'Chimp Crazy,' is similarly outlandish, following a former nurse, Tonia Haddix, who's obsessed with collecting chimpanzees — even as PETA wisely tries to stop her. Goode's unconventional techniques, including hiring a proxy director to get close to Haddix so she was unaware of Goode's involvement, provoked criticism from documentary purists. But he argues that it's all in the name of promoting animal rights. 'If you want to make a difference, you can't just preach to the converted,' says Goode. 'You have to make a big bang. So many [advocacy] films feel like you're in school. You want to preach to people that don't know the issues. And the only way to do that is to do things that are entertainment, that are going to make people scratch their head and say, 'Wait a minute, I just watched this whole thing and there's something disturbing about this.'' When asked if HBO had qualms about his methods, Goode replies, 'It may have come up but not with me directly.' Executives' hands-off approach worked: 'Chimp Crazy' was the most popular HBO documentary in years. These five projects — a combination of celebrity portraits, true-crime thrillers and oddball sagas — suggest the breadth of HBO Documentary Films' strategy for an art form that has blossomed on the small screen. Balancing compulsive watchability with a touch of class, the company is still trying to break the mold while simultaneously catering to the masses. 'It feels very fresh,' Gibney says of the company's broad slate. 'It feels like a film festival — as opposed to 'Here comes the Predictable Content Channel.''
