It was the week of big cakes and Eli's treats! The 2024 Democratic National Convention Committee served up two 1,000 lb Eli's cheesecakes at Welcome Parties Saturday for the Media and Sunday for the delegates at Navy Pier this past weekend. Both cheesecakes were decorated with all 50 state placards, which guests thoroughly enjoyed as evidenced by the number of selfies taken pointing to their state. In fact, Convention goers will have consumed over 5,400 lbs. of Eli’s Cheesecake, Chicago’s favorite dessert, by the time the Convention is over.

About us
The Eli’s Cheesecake Company is a family owned business dedicated to baking the highest quality, natural dairy cheesecake and desserts, while supporting our community, local farmers and small businesses. We are proud of our Chicago roots that date back over 75 years when Eli Schulman opened his first restaurant on Chicago’s west-side. It was at Eli’s the Place for Steak, his award winning restaurant on Chicago‘s Magnificent Mile, where Eli developed the recipe for his signature cheesecake. We have grown over the past 40 years but still take our time to create the highest quality desserts by slow-baking in small batches and allowing the finest ingredients to develop to their optimum flavors...the key to achieving Eli's unique taste and texture. All our desserts are handmade and decorated at Eli's Cheesecake World, our bakery located on Chicago's northwest side.

National Cheesecake Day 2024 was a hit! ICYMI, here’s what happened: •We teamed up with 4th generation J.P. Graziano to create a limited-edition Cannoli Cheesecake and gave away free slices in the West Loop! You can grab a slice at JPG, Eli’s Cheesecake World, or have it shipped straight to your door at elicheesecake.com. •It was a celebration all weekend long at Eli’s Cheesecake World with 44 cent slices, cheesecake bingo, and more! •Big Slice was reunited with bestie, Scoopie, from Culver's Restaurants Six Corners, where we sampled our Cheesecake Cubies (an inclusion you can add to your next concrete mixer!). •We had a blast with Tonya Francisco and Amy Rutledge from WGN-TV #DayTimeChicago, and actor Jason Weaver on the morning of NCD! •And finally, our favorite tradition – hitting the streets of Chicago and giving out over 3,500 cheesecake slices across the city: Chicago Department of Aviation (CDA) - O'Hare & Midway International Airports, J.P. Graziano, Seneca Park (right outside the Eli M. Schulman Playground!), Chicago Public Library, and Chicago History Museum, with donations to Northwestern Medicine Prentice Women’s Hospital, Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago, and Taste for the Homeless. Sharing our cheesecake with all of you brings us the most joy! Thanks for celebrating National Cheesecake Day with us. We love you, Chicago!

We love Chicago, and nothing brings us more joy than collaborating with other family-owned businesses that have dedicated their lives to serving our city. To celebrate National Cheesecake Day, we've teamed up with the legendary Chicago business, J.P. Graziano, to create this extra special cheesecake. This project is a celebration of two multi-generational family businesses joining forces to honor out love for Chicago, our amazing customers, and over 80 years of being a part of the city's culinary landscape.

It was an honor to create a Big Cake for Millennium Park’s 20th anniversary celebration! Our talented cake decorators, Ivanna and Diego, worked tirelessly to turn Anish Kapoor’s Cloud Gate into an edible masterpiece. After the ceremonial cut, we handed out 1,000 slices to Chicagoans and visitors! We wish you could have BEAN there! 🌆🎂❤️ 📸 Barry Brecheisen

Chicago’s Happiness Club remains in the hopeful business of changing young lives. Founded and still guided by a desire to bring arts and entertainment to children living in underserved neighborhoods, it has consistently attracted children from less beleaguered areas too which is one of the many reasons Eli's has supported it for over the past 20 years. Listen (or read) to President, Marc Schulman and wife, Maureen Schulman, talk more about The Happiness Club with Rick Kogan on the many reasons why they are so involved in an organization all three of their daughters grew up in despite none of them being on stage anymore! 🎙️ Tune in here: https://lnkd.in/gniENABG 📖 Read more here: https://lnkd.in/gJPHQm5A 🎟️ Buy tickets and support The Happiness Club here: https://lnkd.in/gQ-MpUaj

This past Sunday, we hosted our 18th annual Father’s Day Bike Ride at Eli’s – a 10-mile bike ride through Harwood Heights and Portage Park. We couldn’t have done it without our partners! Thank you to the team at Rudy's Bike Shop, the Harwood Heights and Chicago Police Departments and our SAFE bicycle ambassadors for ensuring our safety, Alderman Nick Sposato, IL State Representative Lindsey LaPointe, our Eli’s associates, and our community for making this our most attended ride! We can’t wait for next year.
