Cream Cheese Shortage Hits Eli’s Cheesecake But Can’t Stop Production | Eater Chicago

"A longtime Chicago bakery and civic favorite of former Mayor Rahm Emanuel, this family-run cheesecake maker (now led by the founder’s son, Marc Schulman) has managed to keep production running through the busy holiday season despite being squeezed by a national cream cheese shortage caused in part by a major producer’s temporary shutdown. Management reports difficulty sourcing cream cheese as well as chocolate, sugar, and packaging materials, but production has not been suspended and there is still product available for customers." - Aimee Levitt
