Shut Up and Eat Your Dumplins: Cracker Barrel's Food is Still Spectacular
And leaving it over a logo would have been...just plain dumb
In last week’s episode of “American Outrage” a bunch of dudes with bad chin beards and Huk shirts lost their collective mullets over that most critical of national issues: A chain restaurant logo. From the front seats of their F-250s, they launched a nationwide movement not seen since the Vietnam War, or, at least, the last time Disney cast a new Little Mermaid. And now it seems old Uncle Herschel will be back where he belongs, gazing out over the parking lot at the nearest Home2Suites.
But in this national crisis we seem to have forgotten the thing that brought us all to Cracker Barrel in the first place: Bedazzled nativity scenes. But also, the food! Nobody has ever sped along an Interstate and said, “Boy, I’m starving for a logo!” But we have, on many occasions, said, “Boy, I could go for enough chicken fried steak to clog at least two arteries.”
