I haven't eaten fast food since 2007 other than on a road trip returning from Northern California in early 2018. I was starving and stopped at a McD off the I-5 somewhere slightly south of the Bay Area. I ordered a chicken something. The first bite was so foul I reflexively immediately spit it out the car windows into the parking lot, then drove by the dumpster and threw the rest of it in there.

While Cracker Barrel has never been better than low on the mediocre scale, it was almost infinitely better than that McD experience.

The only place in town I can find the old Skybar.

For the Gen Z impaired, this is a candy bar.

We used to eat at crackle barrel occasionally. It’s been a while our last time was when traveling with the camper we stayed overnight at a crackle barrel parking lot and ate dinner and breakfast. It was convenient.

Why spend $20 on a McDonalds crap microwave meal when you can get a fresh Gyro or steak salad or Ruben for $17?
Thanks for the Reminder ~ There's an Italian Joint where for $20 or LESS I can get these Items:

Authentic Fresh Italian Sausage Pizza with an Awesome Crisp Crust $20

Juicy Flavorful Butt Steak Sandwich with Grilled Onions and Fries $13

Boat Load of Pasta Offering with Meat Sauces and or Added Meats Under $18



Yet I'll assure myself using half a roll of Mr Whipple's Paper to rid myself of a $20 McDonalds Meal next time I sit down to do the Business

You still have 3 Mac Grills in your area, airport & Kiss & Oviedo.

One of my favorites, always got the chicken with fettucine, added onions and broc and sundrieds, garlic olive oil sauce--wifey now makes it for me.

AND, they had the best bread ever, dip it with the olive oil and shredded cheese.

Crackle Barrel camping? Damn I'm outdated.

The picture of the rainbow chairs and the alphabet alliance page make it clear that the situation is worse than I even imagined.
