That wasn’t Jesus in the parking lot, man.

[–] dohpaz42@lemmy.world 24 points 16 hours ago

Sure it was. But it’s spelled Jesús, and he was just an immigrant trying to make a better life for him and his family back home in Mexico.

I remember getting on my knees for Jesus in the cracker barrel parking lot.

Life made so much more sense once his warm love filled me.

~To each their own.~

The new logo is definitely worse, I'll give them that.

Just typical corporate mediocrity.

Cool story, bro. Where are the Epstein files?

Southerner here:

Cracker Barrel is literally the worst restaurant I have ever been to. By far.

It was years ago, and I got fried fish and mashed potatoes, and it was so bad I couldn’t eat it. I am not picky: I have never skipped a plated meal at a restaurant, or even at home unless I’m deathly ill. But it was like a tv freezer dinner someone had dipped in water.

…And this is bizarre, as you have no idea how much food is part of the culture down here. Maybe it’s because my family in the south is suburban, not rural, but I have no earthly idea how that chain would get idolized.

I went to cracker barrel semi-regularly growing up. Imo, it is pretty good. Certainly better than fast food or, like, a Chili's. Maybe their food quality has diminished in the decade since I last ate at one. But iirc, they had good pancakes, mashed potatoes, and mac and cheese. The hash brown casserole and country fried steak were the reasons to enter the building, plus the gravy. Plus you could play checkers while you waited for your table.

I had the fish one time and also found it to be not great. I assume they just have it on the menu to have it.

[–] brucethemoose@lemmy.world 2 points 15 hours ago (2 children)

Maybe fish wasn’t their strong suit? Hmmm.

And man, Steak and Shake or Raising Canes or Rosas are great. Way better than the biggest chain restaurants TBH.

[–] blarghly@lemmy.world 7 points 14 hours ago

Never been to Rosas.

Steak and Shake was always a little off putting to me because it alwasys smelled like bleach when I walked in thr door. Imo, decent burgers (def better than fast food) and good milk shakes.

I have extremely mixed feelings about Canes. On one hand, I think their food tastes good. On the other hand, I feel like that restaurant is the result of some kind of sinister corporate science experiments in an underground bunker to create feel-goodery. Every peice of chicken is perfect. The sweet tea is too sweet, just like it should be. The canes sauce is distinct enough to be memorable, but not so different as to feel unfamiliar. Their logo is a golden retriever in a bandana. The name of the restaruant rolls off the tongue, but makes literally no sense when you think about it. It's kind of unsettling on an existential level to me.

Their pancakes and hashbrowns slapped when I was a kid. Has it just gotten worse or do I have rose tented glasses because of how old I was at the time?

[–] Fredselfish@lemmy.world 3 points 14 hours ago

I went to one couple of years ago. Order a chicken fried steak dinner. Fucking thing was tiny, and only got one scoop mash potatoes. It was shit to. Glad I wasn't paying, and have no plans on returning.

[–] mateofeo85@lemmy.world 32 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

All these black people thinking Trump will help their careers 😂

[–] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 23 points 17 hours ago (2 children)

Do we know if this is a real person or an AI "black person"?

[–] MotoAsh@lemmy.world 15 points 16 hours ago* (last edited 16 hours ago) (1 children)

Neither. It's a white conservative piece of shit pretending to be a minority. It's been around far longer than "AI".

[–] blarghly@lemmy.world 8 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

This guy is a republican congressman. Definitely a real black guy.

[–] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 3 points 13 hours ago

His twitter handle is different.

[–] blarghly@lemmy.world 1 points 15 hours ago (1 children)
[–] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 3 points 14 hours ago

Did you go to his twitter? It's a different handle.

[–] MachineFab812@discuss.tchncs.de 7 points 15 hours ago

The new one makes the size of the logo versus the text look like nothing but wasted space. Hell, versus the text portion, it looks like MORE extra space is used than the old logo, ony with zero charm or familiarity to show for it.

If they wanted to re-brand as a truck-stop, merge with Love's, don't just rip-off their color-scheme minus the Heart.

[–] Cenotaph@mander.xyz 6 points 14 hours ago

Oh is that what they're calling giving a wristy these days?

[–] InvalidName2@lemmy.zip 10 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

When I think of fixtures, I think of Cracker Barrel, too! Because I spent about 2.5 days staring at my bathroom fixtures expelling demonic essences from my bowels after contracting food born illness from a meal I ate there.

[–] xylol@leminal.space 5 points 17 hours ago (5 children)

What kind of food do they have? Other than barrels full of crackers

[–] marduk@lemmy.sdf.org 9 points 16 hours ago

Southern comfort foods such as the Chicken-fried Steak

[–] Bonesince1997@lemmy.world 8 points 16 hours ago

It's like decent cafeteria food.

[–] Corkyskog@sh.itjust.works 6 points 15 hours ago* (last edited 7 hours ago) (1 children)

The one time I went like a decade or two ago they had barrels full of candy in their gift shops though. So at least there are barrels.

[–] xylol@leminal.space 3 points 15 hours ago

Were the candies cracker shaped?

[–] AFKBRBChocolate@lemmy.ca 6 points 16 hours ago

Looks like American/Southern food: https://www.crackerbarrel.com/menu

[–] blarghly@lemmy.world 3 points 15 hours ago

It's kind of a southern homestyle restaurant. So, like, you can get fancy grits and country fried steak and biscuits and gravy.

[–] NoForwardslashS@sopuli.xyz 4 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

MCBGA just rolls off the tongue.

[–] dohpaz42@lemmy.world 3 points 16 hours ago

It’s not the tongue it rolls out of.
