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.

A fun fact about the strawberry/raspberry swirl cheesecakes.

how did a cheesecake without a crust taste? 😄
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. So pull up a chair, take a chill, and enjoy yourself a nice piece of creamy NY cheesecake made from Kraft Philadelphia cream cheese. It's delicious.

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.

Is it on the sweeter side, or on the less sweet side? For instance, Costco’s in house cheesecake is WAY too sweet for me. Thanks!
I love Juniors cheesecake 😋 😍 I wish I had some right now 😩 😫
I remember the first time that I tried a cheesecake in my late 20's while stationed at the Brooklyn navy yard. I thought where have you sweet thing been all my life~~!! Shalom
Great video 🙌
I order online since moving out of state .... Strawberry is number 1 for me 😍 I wish they never closed their Boca Raton location, but I can understand.

To all who do not live in New York, JUNIORS IS NOT NOT NOT NEW YORK STYLE CHEESECAKE. No one in New York eats or likes cheesecake made with cream cheese. Cream cheese cheesecake is something that people who are not from New York think is from New York because New York Jews Bagels Cream Cheese or whatever reason. All real good New York Cheesecake is Italian Style and made with ricotta cheese NOT cream cheese. Millions of Juniors are sold to idiots from out of state who have been bamboozled into thinking New Yorkers eat that Juniors garbage. Juniors is total crap.
Impressive how long they have lasted. God, I miss cheesecake so much. I have a double whammy of gluten and lactose intolerance, so I can never try one of these amazing cakes without pain and suffering. I might at least see if I can find them in my local Stop & Shop, since he mentioned them as a retailer.

you can try a gluten-free vagene cheesecake. not the same thing but there must be good recipes out there that should scratch the itch.

Im not sure if they easy to come by where you are but my mother is lactose intolerant and has a pill she can take when she's invited somewhere that doesn't have many vegan/dairy free options. Has come in handy for a few events she's been to where you'd expect more variety but yeah it works.

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.)

Any company where constant up-time is valuable is a good target. the product doesn't matter, just the fact that downtime is costing someone thousands of dollars makes it an opportunity for ransomware.
As a young girl, I worked at Juniors when it was located in Brooklyn. Until this day, family and friends beg me to share their recipe. Lol Lol
I am just trying this cheesecake; oh my goodness they are divine ❤.
i dont think I ever tried the Junior cheesecake before. but now I wanna try it. it looks good

This here is an incredible example of how to successfully modernize, you don't replace all the humans so you don't have to pay them, you use technology to make the amount of work you want done actually doable. Then you give your employees everything they need financial & benefits wise so they want to show their value and work to your standards. It's crazy but these folks are aware of how lucky they are to even have a non gig based job right now.

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!
I love it I will definitely support it even if they raise their prices. I still buy!
The refusal to change recipes is the nicest thing. I enjoyed some places, then tasted the food change for the worst. It is great to still have the taste you love.
“We don’t do giggly, we do Juniors” 🗣Talk that talk hunni!!!
A locally owned and operated Mexican restaurant is harder to come by after the pandemic than it was before!! I waited tables for a Mexican rest off and on over a 15 year period. Never have I seen him disappointed with his food because of the cost of everything from delivery charges to plastic to go bags. But especially bacon. He buys very thin cut cheap bacon for pollo ala crema. I feel bad for him, his food has always been muy bueno!! Prayers for all business owners etc. Especially population like Ukrainian who face many many hardships not just supply shortages.
I need to try this!! Looks so delicious!!
That was an oddly interesting video. Getting to like this channel.
I live 15 minutes from their factory and they have an outlet retail store where you can buy all kinds of cakes and cheesecakes that are slightly imperfect for such cheap prices and it's soooo good!! You can get a 10" cheesecake for $9!! The slight imperfections are cosmetic only, like a few crumbs from the crust might get on top, just a few crumbs, I can deal with that!! Lol!!
