Sheepshead Cafe Iowa City
I just now saw this reply...June 2, 2011
I had no idea Sheepshead made their own bread and cheesecakes. Funny, I thought they came from other bakeries, may be because the restaurant looked so small.
I will email you too because I LOVE the whole wheat bread. I would like the recipe.
Thanks,

Thanks for the information. I had heard that there was a "shot" (a splash may be?) of alcohol in the tomato soup. I will try that, thanks! If you ever remember the recipe for the cheesecake, let me know! Thanks,

Sheepshead Cafe Iowa City
I have just discovered Chow.com because I did a web search for Sheepshead Cafe Chocolate Almond Cheesecake. I knew it was a long shot, but I just wanted to see what would come up.
It led me to Chow.com and some messages from 2006 suggesting places to go in Iowa City, IA. There was a continuing discussion about Sheepshead Cafe and their cheesecake (I had an addiction for their tomato soup too!). So I've decided to start a new message about Sheepshead to see if anyone out there knows recipes or worked for them or knows ANYTHING! I know some of their products came from a bakery (Frenchbread bakery or something like that), don't know if the cheesecake was made by Sheepshead or a bakery. I've tried to make an chocolate almond cheesecake like the one at Sheepshead, but it doesn't turn out just right. It's that crust that's difficult, it's the kind that makes it's own crust I believe.
Ok, just throwing this out there!
Now in Minnesota!
