Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets	3. Impairment of Long-Lived Assets We assess the potential impairment of our long-lived assets on an annual basis or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of the assets or asset group may not be recoverable. Due to the significant impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our operations, we determined it was necessary to perform an interim test of our long-lived assets during the first quarter of fiscal 2020. Based on the results of these assessments, we recorded $8.9 million of expense primarily related to the impairment of one The Cheesecake Factory, one North Italia, two Other FRC and four Other restaurants. These amounts are recorded in impairment of assets and lease terminations on the consolidated statements of income.

Tabular disclosure for impairment of long-lived assets held and used by an entity which includes a description of the impaired long-lived asset and facts and circumstances leading to the impairment, aggregate amount of the impairment loss and where the loss is located in the income statement, method(s) for determining fair value, and the segment in which the impaired long-lived asset is reported.
