Does anyone have the cheesecake recipe from Let them eat cake?

The Let them eat cake (bakeries/delis) were all over downtown Chicago. One day they just all closed. I loved their cheesecake. I've tried everything to get a copy of the recipe, from posting in the newspaper to getting in touch with the company... but alas! nothing.
