    Cracker Barrel

    Anyone ever eat there? I had a gift card for there and I just got back. They had a 20oz Ribeye on special. It was freakin amazing and now I feel like I need a nap. Usually I don't trust chain resteraunts to make a good steak but they made it perfect, nice and red!

    20oz Ribeye
    Mashed potatos
    Fried Okra
    Corn on the cob
    Cornbread

    all for $15.99!

    This was the first time I ever ordered one of their steaks because usually they only have a 10oz Sirloin or a 12oz Ribeye but the daily special was the 20oz! I couldn't pass it up. Their deep fried catfish is great, too. Actually, everything on their menu is good.

    Actually everyone that I saw was black when I was there. Didn't really think about it though.

    I usually don't eat at many chain restarunts either but I seem to get a lot of gift cards from relatives and clients so I can't pass up free grub!

    The management had a policy to fire any employees they discovered to be gay. Then the stockholders voted that the company should change its policy, which it did (on paper). But there's a difference between what's official company policy and what they actually do . . .

    As long as there are lots of other places for me to go, and as long as gay people are not welcome to work there, then I'm gonna go elsewhere.

    hate that place, as soon as i crossed the boarder from canada into the us and started my road trip to MIAMI, every exit on the highway had 10 fast food chains. one of which being the cracker barrel absolutly disgusting food. i gained 10 pounds of fat in 2 weeks of being in the US. I dont know how you guys live down there, all i see is obese people stuffing their faces at 5.99 buffets the first decent meal i had was when i reached Miami and it ran me 4 bills. theres another place i thought i would give it a try because it was the only food place i thought was not fast food, there was a mcdonalds, harveys, wendys, etc etc, and then .. THE HUDDLE HOUSE, from far away it looked like a nice private diner, when i got in i realized i made the worst mistake of my life.

    anyway thats my story,

    family tradition was that whenever we took a road trip to st louis or chicago, we'd find one off the interstate and eat.....i'm so burnt out on that place, i haven't ate there in over 2 years
