7 Times the Golden Girls Talked It Out Over Cheesecake

It's been said that over the course of the series, the Golden Girls ladies ate more than 100 cheesecakes—and Bea Arthur couldn't stand that particular dessert. Coming up with all 100 instances sounds like an intriguing challenge, but in the meantime (and in honor of National Cheesecake Day, which was technically yesterday, but you can still get a slice for half price at the Cheesecake Factory today), here are a few of our favorite cheesecake roundtables.
