Until, Cracker Barrel restores the original taste and ingredients in many of its key menu items. It is still a No-Go for us.

The Country Fried steak meal has become kinda a breaded fried hamburger.

Breakfast items are still reasonably good, except the Maple syrups seem to be more watery than before. Even found a few bottles missing the safety seal ring?

Breakfast parking can be a challenge, afternoon parking is ok.

2 They spent like $900M on the rebrand and lost that amount in market capital. Seems like there should be C level accountability. Hopefully, the stock options in everyone’s parachute will be at the stock price from 6 months ago.

3 Suits, bean counters, spread sheets and credentials.

How many meals have any of them taken in their business? How many spent time traveling and eating at various locations? Ever hear of management by walking around.

4 They also removed their hard core DEI messaging from their web site's front page....to another section within the web site. It is still there, just not on the Main Page Tab. Nothing has changed but the...face.

Speaking of faces, CEO Catglasses made it clear during her morning show interview that she is not taking control, but a hire to facilitate the direction of The Board, and in that capacity a deflector shield.

5 Almost as stupid as the Budweiser Lite fiasco. Can't believe Cracker Barrel braniacs were so out of touch with their market. DEI at work here? It's almost as if their CEO or board were trying to punish their consumers for being conservative. CB lost $143 million in value. Dummys.
