Only 2 of America’s 10 Favorite Restaurants Are in Rockford

America picked its favorite restaurant and those of us in Rockford can't even enjoy it.

We can drive for an hour and grab The Cheesecake Factory menu, but at least for now, we are factory-less in Rockford.

According to the Huffington Post, The Cheesecake Factory was voted the number one casual dining restaurant in America, after a survey of almost 5,000 people.

To make matters worse, in Rockford we only have two of the top ten restaurants. Bummer.
