Michael Stagliano on a Date at The Cheesecake Factory

Over the holidays, The Cheesecake Factory spread holiday cheer with a “Wishes Become Delicious” Facebook contest. Winner Shana Cohen wished "for a gorgeous single Italian man to take her on a date to The Cheesecake Factory!" And on February 15, her wish was granted. She requested that the date be with Michael Stagliano at The Cheesecake Factory located in The Grove, and so it was!

Well, how did it go? Wetpaint Entertainment was able to speak exclusively with Michael about the experience:

Wetpaint: Thanks for taking the time to speak with us, Michael. No time for small talk! Tell us about the date!

Michael Stagliano: She was delightful, freakin’ adorable! My manager told me she wanted a, and these were her words, “sexy, single Italian guy,” and when they asked for a name she said “Michael from
Bachelorette.”

Wanting to create a night Shana will never forget, Michael arrived in style with roses and a limo before heading to their date. The conversation was free-flowing as they discussed their dreams and hopes
over new SkinnyLicious Menu items such as the Ahi Tartare and Chicken Lettuce Wrap Tacos.

Can you share a fun fact from your conversation?
One standout was that she enters a ton of contests and has won a bunch, so she’s quite experienced!

Topping off their meal, the couple indulged in the Caramel Pecan Turtle Cheesecake, Wild Blueberry White Chocolate Cheesecake and Chocolate Tuxedo Cream Cheesecake.

Do you think you’ll see her again?

She lives in Boston, and we’re at different stages in life, so I don’t know if it can work, but it was a wonderful, wonderful date and I’m so glad I got to meet her.

Sounds like a delicious time and a great experience! Congrats to both!
