When do we picket?
You can’t have Cracker Barrel without crackers.
This has to be on the top 10 dumbest moral panics in history
conservative panics to be exact. just like with the tan suit panic, the djon mustard one, gay and satanic panic, plus aids panic.
Not even close I will bet!
Aaaaand there it is.
Welp, not goin to cracker barrel ever again.
I demand political purity from my breakfast place.
They could simply have done nothing and no one would be asking them for anything, but now they decided to kneel to bigots.
Real
hours.I loathe Cracker Barrel.
Why? I’m a Southerner that knows Southern food, knows what a good, family resturant is, or in some town’s cases, was, and I blame them for the systematic deletion of small family restaurants across the South.
Make the food good enough and intice people with fake antiques and candy and you too can run everyone out of business with tacky crap in place of anything anyone would consider soul.
Ugh, fuck them. So tacky, fake and greedy. I feel wrong being in one, like oil and water.
I grew up in a city where anybody who is darker than a pencil avoided the hell out of Cracker Barrel. Not just because of the racist clientele, but also because the food sucked.

Someone tell Dolly.
I’ve always associated cracker barrel with “angry old white people who think black pepper is spicy” and their meaner variant, the post-church crowd. so… not particularly surprised?
Yeah, I’m more surprised they had any sort of DEI language to begin with (of course it was clearly just pandering, so).
More like a place near highway exits where you can get sit down service. That is really what their market is.
Lol, I went to some chain and got the chicken Alfredo, the guy warns me it’s a bit spicy. I tell him no worries, bring it on. The thing has like 6 flakes of red pepper on it. I figured he had to warn me bc some Karen complained.
LOL, that corporate performative stuff never meant much as far as being “allies” to anyone.
No, but it sure is telling recinding those policies at this time.
Dying restaurant flails wildly to try and recapture relevancy oozing away from it like blood from a stuck, bloated corpse.
Yeah, I don’t really think they were doing very well even before the poutrage over the logo.
“Poutrage”. Lol, I’ve gotta remember that one
I read it as poot-raj at first, thinking it was some borrowed French word I was unfamiliar with 😆
Look around a lot of businesses are grasping at straws. They are offering specials and discounts galore, unless it is beef, produce, electronics or foreign imports. The logo change was a cry of desperation. Unfortunately they will lose business no matter what now.
The logo change was just an innocuous act of corporate blandness to simplify it. Then people freaked out because somehow a guy leaning on a barrel deeply touched them.
The guy is called the cracker.
a guy leaning on a barrel deeply touched them.
Must have been their turn in the barrel.
He must be a Republican Senator with all that touching.
He was touching a barrel, not a child.
…wait, maybe the barrel was very young and asking for it? Damn them young sexy curvy barrels!!
Will also quietly remove Cracker Barrel from my restaurant possibilities. Okay, maybe not so quietly.
Why was it there to begin with?
They’ve got decent catfish, potatoes, biscuits with apple butter.
Haven’t been in a couple years maybe, but it was good in a pinch & with a variety of food that you can get most people in a group to agree on.
Last time I was there they didn’t even have butter. Some margarine crap. And no maple syrup either. Just some crappy high fructose flavored watery stuff.
Just awful. I am surprised you found anything edible.
Where’s RFK Jr when you need him /S
They have pretty good breakfast, but would only occasionally eat there.
I can’t abide a breakfast that doesn’t have butter or maple syrup. And they have neither.
Those strawberry cheesecake pancakes are so good. I don’t think I’ve tasted anything better.
When you’re traveling and you just need to hop off 95 for some food, It’s better and cleaner than Wendy’s, McDonald’s and Burger King.
Face it, the semi-fast food and fast food landscape isn’t the treat it once was.
