The worst bite we took during our meal at The Cheesecake Factory was the Sweet Corn Tamale Cakes. They are unsettlingly sweet and a truly unappetizing texture. The corn cakes themselves are mushy — it almost feels like you’re eating a crab cake made by someone who forgot to mix in the crab. It also includes way too much salsa verde, which doesn’t taste bad, but it makes everything on the plate even more soggy.
In general, the corn cake base almost feels like its are supposed to be the beginning of a dessert. However, with toppings like cilantro, avocado, and sour cream, it’s like a mashup of sweet and savory gone wrong. Also, there are just way too many sauces going on — it feels like you’re eating a bowl full of salsa soup with a few mushy corn cakes mixed in, which is somehow more unappetizing than it sounds.
