In the Food Gallery, a darkened and somber place, Alton discovers Heartbreak Hall, home of food that bites the hand that feeds it.

With the right technique and a basic understanding of the science, Alton explains that cheesecake need never again inhabit Heartbreak Hall, and he demonstrations with a Sour Cream Cheesecake and a Savory Cheesecake.
