There's a discussion on the Low CarbFriends board about this. One person
said
the manager told her it is not Atkins cheesecake, but Atkins-friendly.
Someone
pointed out that it contains levolose (sp), a simple sugar type of
sweetener,
and now many are avoiding it for the time being until there's more info on
it.
Even with the sugar, I don't imagine the carbs are over 10 grams or so per
slice, but I could be wrong.

A friend of mine e-mailed them and asked about the sweetener used in the
cheesecake and this was the reply:

Hello!

Thank you for taking the time to write us today, and for your
patronage
to our Ruby Tuesday. I am so glad to hear that you are happy
about our
new menu! The sweetener used is splenda. We base all of our
menu
decisions on feedback just like yours. I will be sure to bring
up your
requests as well as requests of our other Guests as we plan
menus in the
future. Our goal is to keep you coming back for more. I hope
that you
will give us the opportunity to WOW you again! I thank you
again for
your time, and should you need anything further, please let me
know.
Have a great day!

Thanks!

Same price here in Ohio. The piece is pretty big. I'd say about
two-thirds the size of a "normal" slice, and about half as big as
Cheesecake Factory monster slices.

I didn't have a ruler with me, but my estimate would be about 2.5
inches high, 2.5 inches wide, and about 4 inches long.

Wanna bet.

It was actually Atkins brand? Wow. Expensive for them.

The box the restaurant manager showed me actually did say Atkins on
it, I was surprised as I assumed it would be too expensive for them to
serve. It costs $4.99 a slice at our location. It was a good sized
piece of cheesecake, probably about 2-1/2" inches wide. It had a
very dense, creamy texture to it, just the way I like it, it was soooo
good!

Zikes! Ok so they are making a profit after all LOL
Thanks Kathi,

I use Splenda every day, but this levolose is supposed to be more like
fructose, from what I understand, and isn't very low carb friendly. It sounds
like some of the Ruby Tuesdays are serving Atkins cheesecake and others have
the substitute, so I guess we just have to ask when we order.
