I'm guessing the new change is "woke" in some way.

I found this article

I still don't get it. So they are just doing a minor logo alteration. I don't see how this is "woke" or why conservatives are upset. I'm so confused

Change is absolutely the most terrifying thing to conservatives, so much so that they're always projecting

Southern fried food with an attached gift shop that old folks absolutely love. They tend to be right off the highways too, so if you ever travel down south, you'll likely see one every few exits.

Yeah the new logo sucks ass on principle.

Not that Cracker Barrel is anything special (I only ever at there for breakfast, and only when invited. I preferred waffle house for that lol)

But still, stupid soulless vector text only logo is dumb

Cracker Barrel isn't that bad. I would never brag to anybody about the quality of it, but if you ever wanted some southern food with a tinge of unspoken racism in the air it was a great place (I'm black btw, grew up in Mississippi and Georgia). It was probably the entrance that did it since it's usually a porch or something resembling a porch with a handful of rocking chairs

The biscuits and gravy will put you in a food coma

It really depends on the location. I went to one near Dallas that had delicious food, but unfortunately the one in my town is one of the bad ones where the food is terrible; I once had a frickin' bone in the fish I ordered, and the biscuits are made of cardboard.

Anyway, reasonable people might not like this because of the brand looking more soulless and generic by this move, but the reason why MAGA don't like it is because they'll attack Cracker Barrel for any excuse that they can, because of this:

https://www.crackerbarrel.com/culture-and-inclusion

Basically, everybody's welcome at Cracker Barrel these days, and MAGA really, REALLY hates that.

They removed it from the menu a long time ago, but they used to have an apple dumpling that was so big and filling that it was a meal in itself.

I saw something where they changed the interiors as well. They're bland and very middle aged white woman kitchen-esque with the white walls and lame decorations.

You don't have to be a chud to see these changes aren't great and it's not like I'm a huge fan of CB anyway.

Maybe some places are better now, but when I was younger my family travelled a lot and forced me to eat at a lot of Cracker Barrels. I kept trying different food and it was all bad. Eventually I ordered grilled cheese because how can any restaurant fuck up grilled cheese? Cracker Barrel can. It was like Elmers glue between toast. I even tried it at different locations around the nation and it was still just as gross. Eventually I just stopped ordering food altogether when we went there. I think the only restaurant I hate about as much is Arbys.

lmao now the logo is just another bland brand name only on a solid backdrop, making it lose even more of its identity.

I don't care about the conservative outrage aspect. I care more that anything remotely identifying beyond simple fucking words is being erased from corporate cultures.

Next up, Taco Bell is going to remove the Bell.

If you travel along, like, any interstate in America, you're going to run into a billboard for a Cracker Barrel or see one off the side of the road.

I remember going to Cracker Barrel with my friends when we were teens and just being demons. One would skateboard on the porch, I'd occasionally line up a bunch of creamers from Super7 and run over with my bike, and we would even occasionally act unconscious. Lot of Jackass style stuff there.

Wikipedia:
"The name comes from the barrels of soda crackers that could be found for sale in small-town stores across the American South in the early 1900s; people would stand around the barrels chatting and catching up, similar in purpose to contemporary office water coolers."

Personally I've only ever been to one. It was fine. Not that memorable. I guess it's around the quality of like a southern Olive Garden.

Edit: Though it's kinda funny in retrospect that the logo was always "white guy + barrel". Maybe that's actually why they changed it?
