"2"^^ . "Cracker Barrel = Southern staple, right? I'm pretty sure I heard Oprah say that once. \n\nPart country store-part restaurant, they definitely have cool things to buy. Or, rather, stuff that you would get, say, in a magazine that you would order around Christmastime or if some kid was selling stuff for school.\n\nThey sell rocking chairs for about 130 bucks apiece. But, they're really well-made, and if I had enough room in my car, I would have bought one and taken it home. \n\nI don't usually tell my server that I don't eat meat when I go out. During this visit to Cracker Barrel, however, my friend blurted it out when I was trying to decide between salad and pancakes. In light of this, my waitress was extremely helpful in trying to find me a dish to eat that would be satisfying enough to keep me full for the 5.5 hour drive home. She even went as far as taking my menu and drawing stars next to all the items I could eat. Totally unnecessary, but really sweet. \n\nHashbrown casserole + homemade biscuits = heavenly deliciousness. And, affordable too!!!"^^ . . "2008-05-24T00:00:00"^^ . "4"^^ . "4"^^ . . "3"^^ . .
