Poll question: Favorite Greasy Spoon (SE Regional) |
|
Me? A tie between Varsity & Waffle House. And love the order calling:
"Nekkid Dog with legs on it!" (Translated: Hot dog to go, no condiments)
"Skattered, smothered, diced, chunked & Covered!" (Hash browns with onions, ham and cheese)
MMMMMMmmmmmm. Must have grease.

but have you ever eaten at a Cracker Barrel?
(I always feel like I'm the only liberal in the place every time I do.)
If you go when it's not very crowded you can almost hear your arteries hardening.

2. I think Cracker Barrel was modeled on Po' Folks... |
|
I don't know for sure, but I believe Po' Folks was around before the CB. CB is more like a stand alone mall restaurant, IMHO. I'm in the South and would rather go to a REAL country restaurant that's still ran by Grammy or Nana!

4. Eeeeeek! Cracker Barrel is Homophobia Central |
|
They refuse to hire anyone they believe to be gay. They fire people they believe to be gay.
A few years ago a number of us decided to fight back. A few dozen of us got in line, very quietly, and waited until we occupied all the tables at the Cracker Barrel in Union City, Ga. (south Fulton) We each ordered an iced tea (the cheapest thing they had). After the iced teas arrived, we sprang into action, chanting softly, "Bigotry. Bigotry. Bigotry."
After a half-hour or so we left our $5 tips (so the waitstaff wouldn't get hosed by our protest) and left. Ahhhhhhhhhh. That felt good!
In short, you ARE the only liberal in the place every time you go.

5. Herbie's in Greensboro, NC |

I lived in NC from 1995-2001. Anybody out there who's been there knows what I'm talking about.
