Yep. My dad, who loved Cracker Barrel and always stopped there when traveling, hasn't set foot in one since this issue first came to light.
After looking at it a little longer, I'd wondered if it was a batter. And, yes, the mental image of grease running down your hands as you're biting into one of those things is definitely coming to my mind!
It looks kind of awful and sounds very addicting.After looking at it a little longer, I'd wondered if it was a batter. And, yes, the mental image of grease running down your hands as you're biting into one of those things is definitely coming to my mind!
Ain't that the truth with most very addicting things!
Well, the place is called Cracker Barrel, so...
As for, In and Out burger, I AM jealous, but I'm pretty sure there aren't any Dairy Queens out west. At least, I hope there aren't. Other than all the best Ice Cream treats, I've always dug their burgers the most. Got that real flame broiled flavor, like BK USED to have.
Anybody ever heard of Penguin Point? About every thing they do is disgusting, but they have pretty decent (if slightly eccentric) tenderloins--they put cheese, cabbage, and tarter sauce on the damn things. Somehow, it works. Not sure how much actual PENGUIN goes in the patties.

No, but I will try one of those Wally's please.
oh, Another great one we have around here is SHOOPS. One of those fifties diner throwbacks, with little jukeboxes on the tables and REAL cherry cokes. Their burgers are humongous, handmade patties that hang about an inch an a half off the bun, crispy around the edges--to bite into one of those juicy doubles is to be transported back to the age of poodle skirts and duck-ass haircuts. Free pack of Lucky Strikes with every order.
They make those in the little town in Wyoming my husband is from--they're called 'Cartwheels'. Greasy and gross (to me), but he loves them--lol
Just found a recipe for cartwheels! Still look gross to me, but maybe I'll make one for him

I always got Unlucky Strikeouts.

In 'N Out burgers are okay, but their fries are gross unless you inhale them as soon as they land in your car/at your table (a lot like Krispy Kreme donuts).
NO ONE tops fresh McDonald's fries. I don't even much like crap food, but those things are addictive.

Great article, danie. Thank you!
I lost my taste for fast food and greasy pizzas a while back. Grandma and I still get a Five Guys now and then, like every four to six months, and one sandwich, along with the obscene amount of yummy fries that they put in a "regular" size order, fills both of us. Every now and then, some family member will offer me a bite of their greasebomb, and I try it, and the magic is just not there.
One exception: A local chain, Good Times, has a buffalo chicken sandwich that's reasonably spicy. Comes with lettuce and tomato with ranch dressing. I order it without the ranch. It's tasty enough but not addictive.
Papa John's and Chik-Fil-A certainly have the right to make all the political pronouncements they want, and I don't care if people boycott or anti-boycott because they can do what they want as well, but I'll make my own choices on that. And Cracker Barrel, no words. I wasn't aware of that history, and I used to go to a chain called Sambo's in my youth.

YES! LOL! I just told my daughter I think I need a burger today (and I eat them just about once in a blue moon...MMMM... blue bacon burger...
)
That's the nougat. And while I LOVE Mars bars, having eaten ONE deep-fried one in Edinburgh, I never need to eat one again.Even though it says right there what it is, I just can't seem to figure out what I'm looking at. Why does it look like it has meat in it??I'd rather have that In-N-Out burger I can't have.
As a kid it didn't bother me, because I was raised on the story, and in my ignorance, I didn't get racial disparagement out of it. If you take "Black" out of the title, and leave out overt stereotyped illustrations, it's just a fanciful tale about an Asian Indian kid.
Nah, I took care of that mid thread.
