Posted: 8/16/06 at 1:51pmThey have Cracker Barrels in upstate New York as well, but none in the city. Probably the real estate is too pricey for them.
If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.

King Cracker himself was born there.
eta: And I'd love to look at Cracker Barrel's finances, to see how much of the profit comes from food and how much comes from that frightening hodge-podge of tacky they sell in the waiting area.

Posted: 8/16/06 at 1:52pmYeah! I wish it was like that in the south. That is one thing that I despise the south for, is their predujices against gay people and minorities.

I recently took a trip South and stopped into one. The hodge-podge has gotten worse. Now it's just junk you can buy in any store.

Posted: 8/16/06 at 2:20pmYes, there's charming tacky and scary tacky. I'm afraid the Cracker Barrel merchandise falls into the latter for me.

You are not a true Southerner until you understand this.

What about Bojangles? I think a Bojangles in Times Square would make millions!

Nothing free at the Cracker Barrell. I like the food on occasion. As for the giftshop, they sell Yankee Candles, which I love. The candies are good, too. The rest is pretty much crap. There is one in jersey, like an hour from me.
Doodle, that is my mall, too!
Pretty pretty please don't you ever ever feel like you're less than f**ckin' perfect!

I may be moving to Savannah next year, and I'm so afraid I'm going to wind up being 400 pounds. I've been there twice, and the primary focus of both trips was EATING. Nothing nothing nothing beats Clary's for me. I could eat three meals a day from there. (For as long as it took for my heart to explode.)
And guys - just be glad you don't get the Blue Bell radio commercials. They make me want to stick sharp things in my ears.

Posted: 8/16/06 at 3:43pmI think Mama's wacky neighbour Iola hand-crafted a lot of the decor herself.

Iola WAS very crafty. I love Mama's Family decor.
and I thought cracker barrel had the "cheese on a ritz" people out front with samples...often in festive costume.

The coolest thing that ever happened to me at a Cracker Barrel was after performing in a concert in undergrad.
My friends and I were getting out of a car when we noticed some swift movement in the gift shop part. A rather tall guy burst out the front door about 10 feet in front of us in a nice nude stocking mask. He turned to the left, began running....a few minutes later, a car from a nbearby hotel left.
The manager came out, told us they had been robbed...and we told him about the car.
Police followed the car and pulled over a 20-something female and her little boy.
Then they popped the trunk and out popped the stocking-mask guy.
Fun times. Definitely better than the food and kitsch.

No bubbles burst Doodle. I just refuse to go to Jersey to eat, so until the place opens in the city it doesn't count.
And don't you love how all these things that will kill us all are southern. 
I stand corrected, you are as vapid as they say.

The only place I can get Blue Bell here in Vegas is Carrabba's. But they only serve vanilla, which is okay, I guess.
My favorite is Tin Roof.
And I love Yankee Candles too.
