How Junior's Bakes 5 Million Cheesecakes During A Cream Cheese Shortage | Big Business

New York cheesecake institution, Junior's, has been slinging out towering slices since 1950. But in recent years, the company has faced pandemic closures of its restaurants, skyrocketing ingredient prices, and a cream cheese shortage.
We visited the New Jersey factory to see how Junior's third generation is keeping tradition alive amid shrinking margins.

    Kudos to the man. He does not budge, unlike many, and he would not change the recipe. A good recipe is so precious. We still keep Great-grandma's recipe for bean stew (it smells divine despite only adding some fried red pepper, flour and spice) and tomato sauce recipe. We make about 250 jars of it each autumn and every time it is gone by same time next year.

    its relatively easy to get through hard times when you are selling a product that have been already selling itself for decades. Customer loyalty is really insane in USA when its about certain products that kinda represents the American identity as far as i can see from outside of it.

A fun fact about the strawberry/raspberry swirl cheesecakes. To do the factory swirl, they asked the employee with the most unique swirl to replicate it with technology that copied the template of that swirl exactly through a computer to replicate it for the machines.

    I still use my grandmothers recipe. She gets a long pan and puts down a graham cracker crust. She then makes her cheesecake. She bakes it about 40 minutes and pulls it out. She has sour cream, some sugar and lemon juice mixed together. She tops the cheesecake and puts it back in the oven. Once it is done you not only have to let it cool, it is best served when it comes out of the fridge ice cold. With a sour cream topped cheesecake, you don't need to top it with fruit or anything else. There is never one piece left after a family reunion and last time we made 4 of them. Cream cheese in Ohio is about $1.59 for two bricks, 8 ounces each.

    @@MarkasTZM Don't hold back on your opinion. I'm sure you'd disagree, but everyone I know -- including my pastry chef friends -- refer to what you're describing as Italian cheesecake (Torta di Ricotta) and it often contains fruit or candied fruit. It's native to Italy and made all over the world, even NY. Millions of native New Yorkers eat cheesecake, and they get it from Junior's, Lindy's (now closed, RIP), Eileen's, etc. I know this because I lived in NYC and still have family there.

    I just bought my first Junior's cheesecake from Publix this week. Now I understand why it was so small. I didn't think about the impact of inflation on their production but I completely get it now. I should have known since we ran out of cream cheese in this part of the state and the price of eggs has gone through the roof! Though I still prefer buttery graham cracker with NO cinnamon on the bottom of mine, I can respect keeping the recipe as it was created. This is still, by far, the best cheesecake I've ever had.

    We can’t. Even before inflation started to hit such highs, a lot of people were in debt. Anecdotally, it seems that a lot of people start to lose grasp of the weight that debt has and they start to get comfortable. Comfortable enough that they often make frivolous purchases, such as an expensive cheesecake, even when the money isn’t there.

    It was a ransomware attack. Something gets into a business IT system and locks up all their files and databases etc - company can't do business for long if they can't do their accounting or ordering or accept orders. Then the hackers send a message for the business to pay a ransom - millions, sometimes - for the hackers to provide a code that will unlock everything. So it's very lucrative. The most bizarre thing about it is that most of these ransomware hackers seem to be pretty "ethical" extortionists - nearly all the time, when a business has paid up, they get their data back. However, like any kind of ransom, law enforcement is telling businesses to not pay these ransoms. If you have good backups and good IT people, you should be able to get your data back. Then again, if you had really good IT people, it'd be less likely for the attack to succeed in the first place. So don't click on random email attachments, people! And don't pick up random USB drives you find lying around outside the office and plug them into your office PC! (Yes, I worked at one place where some security testers left 8 USBs lying around outside, and 7 of them got plugged into office PCs. This convinced the bosses to allow us to prevent USB devices from being read on most PCs.)

    This world is rapidly passing away and I hope that you repent and take time to change before all out disaster occurs! Belief in messiah alone is not enough to grant you salvation - Matthew 7:21-23, John 3:3, John 3:36 (ESV is the best translation for John 3:36) if you believed in Messiah you would be following His commands as best as you could. If you are not a follower of Messiah I would highly recommend becoming one. Call on the name of Jesus and pray for Him to intervene in your life - Revelation 3:20. Contemplate how the Roman Empire fulfilled the role of the beast from the sea in Revelation 13 over the course of 1260+ years. Revelation 17 confirms that the beast is in fact Rome. From this we can conclude that A) Jesus is the Son of God and can predict the future or make it happen, B) The world leaders/nations/governments etc have been conspiring together for the last 3000+ years going back to Babylon and before, C) History as we know it is fake. You don't really need to speculate once you start a relationship with God. Can't get a response from God? Fasting can help increase your perception and prayer can help initiate events. God will ignore you if your prayer does not align with His purpose (James 4:3) or if you are approaching Him when "unclean" (Isaiah 1:15, Isaiah 59:2, Micah 3:4). Stop eating food sacrificed to idols (McDonald's, Wendy's etc) stop glorifying yourself on social media or making other images of yourself (Second Commandment), stop gossiping about other people, stop watching obscene content etc. Have a blessed day!
