Weird History Food is talking about the history of Cracker Barrel. We're pulling off on the next exit because we saw a billboard for the Cracker Barrel. Originally built as a filling station, we're going to show you how Cracker Barrel built its empire and explore why you see so many Cracker Barrels off the interstate. Let's not forget to visit Cracker Barrel's antique store as well.

I love their turnip greens & ham, especially with the vinegar on the side. I also love their breakfast sausage and the cheese & potato casserole. It may not be healthy food but it's good-tasting food and a wonderful place. My place of work treated their employees to catered food from the local Cracker barrel for Thanksgiving. It's also the only place to find old school sodas and candies. Unless the company does something crazy, I will remain a loyal patron.

Using Weird History Food's Yankee logic, Chic Fil A should have suffered massive backlash because of their non-Rainbow mafia friendly executive from a populist ground swell of angry LGBLT customers, yet the upswell came from people who supported Chic Fil A, which undermines his point about Cracked Barrel and only goes to show that the uproar there wasn't natural or from people who form its regular customer base but was entirely a concerted media effort from the top down to dogpile on Cracker Barrel just like the outrage was for Chic Fil A. Seriously, he's the kind of dumb, out of touch New Yorker who thought you could bully a country with as much of a market and customer base as Russia like it was one of the many smaller and less powerful countries that's worked on to any kind of effect.

It was good and, it was fun. Not sure why they closed it down. It was located right next to the express way/toll way. So, there were/are travelers always driving by that area. I wish it was still here. There are a some scattered in a few suburbs away from me. The closest one is some 16 miles away (which is not really too far). Maybe one day I will get over there.

It's spelled 'morals', and there's nothing immoral about being homosexual. But it is immoral to discriminate against homosexuals and people of color, which is exactly what Cracker Barrel did.

@@timothyivey5497 You obviously don't have the same beliefs as I do or the Bible. As for color people I love what my father in heaven loves. And he so loved the world. And I love having morals. Not prefect. But I will not lie to you and say gays will go to heaven. Anyone tell you otherwise is lying to you. Leviticus chapter 20, verse 13

I live in Middle Tennessee, about 20 minutes from the flagship store and headquarters. You guys missed the biggest controversy Cracker Barrel ever got involved with. That came when they decided to sell alcoholic beverages at the store. You see, in the south, most conservative Christian Protestant denominations officially are still dry, or, in other words, advocate against the drinking of alcohol. Cracker Barrel is habitually the place where families gather after church, especially those of conservative Protestant Christian denominations. So you can imagine the absolute horror when Sister Bertha and her family arrived for their weekly after church meal and found that beer and wine were on the damn menu. There were actually protesters outside the main Cracker Barrel behind it. And every time you went in passed them, they gave you the evil eye. My husband is from South Africa. When they tried to make a fuss about us going in, he just put on his deepest South African accent and said "but in my country, Christian's drink, rather than judge each other." They all shut up and let us go in.

Cracker Barrel, if you are reading this PLEASE bring back the fried chicken livers. I miss them so much. I know many people don't like livers. But for people like me who love them you should bring them back to the menu.
