I have been trying to find a recipe for a particular type of cheesecake
that I used to get regularly in the Midwest.   The bakeries there
(mostly Italian bakeries) called it "Old-Fashioned Cheesecake".  It was
drier and spongier than the New York style, and had a dark-brown crust
on the top.  It usually came out to be 3-4 inches thick.   The bakers
in Chicago would never give out the recipes, no matter how much you
pleaded or offered to bribe.

						Any ideas???
