3. Have you tried the hummus?
But if you order the Perrier, they have to walk over to the Wawa to get it for you.

15. We don't have that here.
Although I routinely make my lunch out of the sampling when I go. It's all a matter of timing, dude.

33. They let gay people work there now?
Years ago in Virginia, they had a big "no gay" policy. Fired a couple of employeees for that reason.

17. Locking
The term "Moonwalking" is not allowed.

To illustrate your point without causing offense, please use some term for dancing such as tap square dancing. :hide:

44. Yes - that bites. Was it a company policy or the owner of the restaurant
if the company a boycott makes sense - if one owner than only the one location makes sense.

8. Worst breakfast I've ever had at a restaurant.
Or anywhere else, for that matter.
Pale watery eggs.
Bleh.

14. I have indeed. I had an iced tea.
It was part of a protest in 1990 in Union City, GA (outside teh ATL) against their egregiously homophobic employment policies. We all just filed in, occupied the whole restaurant, and ordered iced tea. Then the lead activist told us to tip five bucks so the workers wouldn't get screwed.

22. No, I prefer the Black-eyed Pea for that kind of restaurant.
Edited on Fri Jan-29-10 08:02 PM by kentauros
Black-eyed Pea

I don't think they have any restaurants outside of Texas, so you'd have to visit or live here to know what they're like ;)

(just noticed on their online menu that they are in Tennessee, even though their locations page doesn't mention that state...)

26. First visit: December '78
I was 11. in Clarksville, TN. Still have the hand-whittled wooden toy called a Gee Haw Whimmy Diddle.



There are none around here, but the last time we were in NC in 2008, we had breakfast there. I think that's the meal they do best.

28. Yes, and I like their corn meal
It's almost as good as Martha White's (neither of which is available here in CA).

30. When my parents came out here for Christmas
My mom brought me 4 bags of Martha White, LOL. I am set for a little while. You can get their muffin mixes and yellow meal here, but not the good southern-style white stuff.

It IS crazy! You'd think you could EVERYTHING here, but I guess like the song says, "you can't always get what you want." :-)

35. I have been to a Cracker Barrel, but not willingly.
I guess their pot pies are not Cartman approved.

37. I'm not allowed at Cracker Barrel.
My family won't let me go. We ate there once. There was a ketchup... incident. Innocent bystanders were involved. I'm not entirely sure that the Dry Cleaners Association doesn't have a holiday named after me.

46. Once a year, I go for breakfast - gravy & biscuits
I know it's just pure cholesterol, but it's so good! The gravy just tastes like campfire smoke. Mmmmm.
