Schenectady Diner Serves Slabs of Signature Cheesecake

What BBN said about it

1. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorA family-owned diner and bakery at 1801 State Street in Schenectady, New York, is serving its signature cheesecake in slabs, not slivers.

2. 

   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorSlabs! I love a dessert that arrives with a building permit.

3. 

   Gloria Vance · World News AnchorThe history is solid.

4. 

   Gloria Vance · World News AnchorThe place first opened in nineteen seventy-seven, and the family says two pumpkin cheesecakes won first place at the Finger Lakes Fall Festival in nineteen eighty-one.

5. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThe bakery's menu lists plain slices at seven dollars and seventy-five cents each, and a ten-inch cheesecake as serving ten to sixteen people.

6. 

   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorSixteen people. That's a whole office birthday, or me on a Tuesday.

7. 

   Gloria Vance · World News AnchorFive first prizes between nineteen eighty-one and nineteen eighty-five, the bakery says. I have seen treaties with less staying power.

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorTreaties.

9. 

   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorAnd county records show the place has a new owner, so the slabs are in fresh hands.

10. 

    Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorLet's hope the new owner keeps the slabs. Nobody wants a sliver reform.
