And a pilot for a Delish television show — "the world's first viral food TV show," Saltz predicts — is now in production, with a hoped-for premiere date later this year. "It's a behind-the-scenes look at how we come up with our stories, and the insane foods we find out in the world," Saltz says. "It's basically TMZ for food." The Delish audience is equal parts millennials, young marrieds, and busy moms and dads, and Saltz knows a lot of them would be perfectly happy to dine at Chipotle every night. "That, too, was sort of our mission," she says, "making something fun enough that they might want to try cooking it." For Saltz, the very accessibility of Delish has been its abiding appeal.

In a large bowl using a hand mixer or in the bowl of a stand mixer using the whisk attachment, beat cream cheese on medium speed, scraping down bowl as necessary, until completely smooth, 3 to 4 minutes. Add sugar and salt, and beat, scraping down bowl as necessary, until smooth and fluffy, 3 to 4 minutes, and then add vanilla and beat 30 seconds. Add eggs, one at a time, beating 1 minute after each addition and scraping down bowl as necessary. Add ¾ of the butterscotch mixture (save the rest for drizzling over the bars) and sour cream, and beat on low until completely smooth and streak-free, 1 minute more. Pour cheesecake batter over cooled crust, and smooth top with a spatula. Bake until set around edges and just barely jiggling in center, 35 to 40 minutes. Transfer to a cooling rack, and let come to room temperature. Once completely cool, loosely cover cheesecake with plastic wrap, and refrigerate until firm, 3 hours, or up to overnight. When ready to serve, heat up remaining butterscotch glaze. Cut cheesecake into squares, and place on a serving tray. Pour butterscotch glaze over bars and serve.
