You forgot to mention the rest of the triad: obesity.

Yeah, kind of go hand in hand in hand. :)

And is true with ANY restaurant and ANY processed food items. Look at the sodium content anywhere you dine. It's off the charts!!

Then there is a balance with hot or cold cereal, fruit and milk. You might as well just eat that in the RV.

True but some days I want something I'm not prepared to cook in ye old home on wheels. or perhaps I just don't feel like cooking..

And CB manages to do a healthy meal.

yesterday I went to a local (non-cb) place they have stuffed peppers (Which I do prepare from time to time) and cabbage rolls (Which I had for supper) which I also like but do not prepare locally.

Tonight it's meat loaf.. Prepared locally.. Sliced and wrapped. Re-heated with steam for 30 minutes. with potato and carrots plus dessert with out any sand.

CB is known for fairly good high quantity eating. I have stopped for dinner a few times and can usually find some choices I like. Again it is mostly quantity. When it comes to breakfast there seems to be two choices at CB or elsewhere. You can opt for high fat: eggs, bacon, sausage, hash browns. You can even opt for the worst of the worst; biscuits and gravy; i.e., cooked wheat and lard smothered with liquid lard and wheat. If you don't want all the fat, then your other choice is carbs on top of carbs; pancakes with artificial maple flavored, high fructose corn syrup.

Just what the "Greatest Generation was raised on" kinda makes you hungry.

Not bad for TV dinners, just like Denney's in the old days.

Unless your going to come cook for me in the morning, i'll pass on your idea.

Has anyone else noticed that most of the people that don't like CB are from the north? Maybe yall just don't like SOUTHERN cooking. I know when I was trucking I hated the food up north.

Cracker Barrel is SOUTHERN cooking. Northerners typically prefer blander, less seasoned food (I know, because I grew up in Michigan with that kind of fare). Accept CB for what it is. If you don't like it, don't eat there -- simple as that.

You have never had my Cajun shrimp! :C ;)
