Why Do Your Parents Love Cracker Barrel So Much?

Weird History Food is talking about the history of Cracker Barrel. We're pulling off on the next exit because we saw a billboard for the Cracker Barrel. Originally built as a filling station, we're going to show you how Cracker Barrel built its empire and explore why you see so many Cracker Barrels off the interstate. Let's not forget to visit Cracker Barrel's antique store as well.

This is how good this channel is.... This video was so captivating I watched it from start to finish despite the nearest Cracker Barrel being five hours away and I've never been there.

My late step-grandpa loved Cracker Barrel. This was one of the restaurants he would stop by during their annual migration between Georgia and Newfoundland, where Grandma was from. Seeing this video is making me missing him again.

I was told by an employee in Nashville. They have antiques in the store but one in each store is always upside down.

My parents love Cracker Barrel. They used to take my sister and I there every Sunday after church. They would let us get candy every time we went. To this day it’s still their Sunday tradition

Cracker Barrel is one of my all-time favorite restaurants to go eat at... And getting to shop in their Old Country Store I love it

It's kinda strange. I look for Cracker Barrel when I'm on a road trip, but there's one not too far from my house, and we never even think about it when we're going out to eat.

You know Cracker Barrel’s famous motto “ when you’re here, make sure you set your watch back 75 years”

I worked as a host a Cracker Barrel and it was an awesome job! I wish they had them on the west coast. I miss it.

Cracker Barrel was always a favourite stop during our road trips. Always good to come back and the menu is still the same.

They had (and may still have) the best-tasting breakfast sausage I've ever had. Whether you go there to shop or eat, it's a wonderful business. Thankfully, the town I moved to has one.

I'm from Canada. When my parents visited the US and went told me they went to Cracker Barrel restaurant for the first time, I was like "woow an entire restaurant dedicated to cheese??" 😂 Now I know I gotta check this place out

"The name 'Cracker Barrel' has a double meaning..."

It sure does where I grew up! And son, it ain't good!

You guys should do a video on Ponderosa, Church's chicken and taco maker, I'd love to see the history

[Adam-gjdn]

You should do a video about girl scout cookies! They just left a flyer at my door and I was wondering what's the history behind it.

My 17 year old daughter is a Cracker Barrel waitress. We eat there about once a month I’d say. She likes working there but the tips are all over the place. I think she’s learning a lot about the real world from the job! Their chicken fingers are divine 😋

I worked at an Indiana Cracker Barrel for ten years and I can say our tiny retail section is missing out on that old stove
