The best Cheesecake Town. Which mean that there needs to be multiple. And they compete by making cheesecake. And we all get to eat cheesecake!

I think they’re trying to say that the city they’re in is the best cheesecake town, and also that the shop itself has the best cheesecake in that city. 

Anyway, I hate it.

It's truly bizarre that someone thinks parentheses work this way. How does this happen? Did someone tell this person they should just sprinkle parentheses into a sentence whenever they feel like it? I know it's just a semantic issue, but...I despair.

Back a hundred years ago, instead of parentheses, the accent would have been arrows or fancy scroll or something

There used to be a bank that spelled “The” in its name as “Thee” to emphasize (I’m guessing) that jt was the better bank in town. Thee Rock Island Bank, iirc.

Attempting to be hip but failing miserably.

They all say it! What, do they hold contests for the best cheesecake (in) town?
