Okay, I lied, I can't quit because I can't stop laughing at right wing weenies acting like the friggin Cracker Barrel logo change is some horrendous existential crisis
 


“…I think fundamentally is he a person who looks out for the interests as he sees it of Russia. One of the reasons he respects the president is because he knows the president looks out for the interests of the American people”

I really wish people would stop saying that the "Trump administration is panicking" about this, or that, or the other. No, they aren't. They aren't panicking because none of it matters. Skyrocketing energy prices, skyrocketing grocery prices, skyrocketing health insurance premiums, skyrocketing healthcare costs...none of it ultimately hurts them politically because none of their base actually cares that they're getting crushed economically. The libs are owned, and that's all that matters.

Old white boomers had to go from eating their canned corn in a tacky faux barn to eating their canned corn in a faux sterile farmhouse!

I don’t care about the politics here but rebranding a company whose identity is entirely built on mid-century rural/southern nostalgia is certainly a choice. I don’t think it’s going to go well for them. Also I hate the Joanna Gaines minimal farm house look they seem to be going for, which has been on its way out for a while.

Agreed. I’m with you, I don’t really understand what they are going for. Seems totally counterintuitive to me and unlikely to be a net gain for them in the long run. But it is going to be absolutely, positively hysterical watching the right wing griftosphere turning Cracker Barrel into the next great culture war battlefield when something like 99.996% of people on “#TheLeft” are going to have exactly 0 idea what the fuck any of them are talking about….again.

I’m sure Nate Morris regards that old Cracker Barrel logo as just behind statues of JEB Stuart, Robert E. Lee, Stonewall Jackson, and Nathan Bedford Forrest in the pantheon of Confederate heroes.
 
Honestly as long as I can still play the peg game I’m probably good for 4-5 trips there per year. My wife loves it- we ate there the day we got married before getting on the flight to our honeymoon lol. And it looks like the core menu is still there, you can still get an Uncle Herschel’s or Old Timer’s.

But now you can also get a hasbrown casserole shepherd’s pie which sounds pretty dang good.

People just want to go back to the good old days when Cracker Barrel wouldn't let black people eat there. I mean that liberal DOJ under <checks notes> George W Bush, really started the downfall of the great restaurant that it was,

It’s very risky to alienate your core constituency/client base-old white southerners. Not sure of the motivation here. It certainly won’t boost sales.
