The Cheesecake Factory "Prep for The Prep" (2016) :25 (USA)

This animated spot is part of The Kitchen Speaks, a series of animated shorts for The Cheesecake Factory. Dude, I am totally with the knife on this one. I don't care if The Cheesecake Factory makes 250 meals fresh by hand and all that, if it's morning, all bets are off. Just let me have my coffee and STFU.
