It's Andy Fish!

The Weird AI Generated Version of Cracker Barrel is still better than what they actually went with.

I mentioned CB yesterday in passing– thought I’d expand the thought. One of my guilty pleasures is going to Cracker Barrel. I like the general store and the food (and I mainly eat breakfast there) was always good. One of my favorite things to order was a mixup of their breakfast sides;

I put the contraption together and it’s a nice little breakfast, except when it’s not. The last two times I stopped at CB the biscuits were noticeably different. I asked my 200 year old waitress about it and she leaned in and whispered “They switched from fresh to frozen.”

Sacre Bleu! Talk about mis-steps!

It was shortly thereafter that the debacle of their remodels brought Cracker Barrel into the news, gone was the yard sale flea market look of the walls and in was Joanna Gaines gray wood walls with black accents.

Now to be honest, I could care less what the decor is like as long as they don’t change the store, and the food was good. But it was clear the new CEO didn’t agree with me and cut corners by laying off the line cooks and streamlined the process so that now their kitchen staff was just microwaving much of the menu.

I don’t know why anyone thought this was a good idea– have they never eaten on a plane? Personally I don’t even own a microwave that’s how much I think of how the food comes out.

But good news, they came pretty close to bankruptcy and they decided to go back to fresh biscuits. We’ll see, I haven’t been back in months but I’m going to try and make a stop out there this weekend, and I shall report my findings.
