Who cares? Of course, we don’t have any Cracker Barrels around here, so I have no skin in the game. Although there is a Cracker Barrel Deli, which has been here forever. I guess they fly under the radar since they haven’t been sued.

Not your dining establishment of choice, I see ...
Not anymore. Some years ago their food was pretty good for the genre. It’s gone substantially downhill since.

Not that I want to encourage any faux dichotomy of "red restaurants vs. blue restaurants," but because of this logogate, I queried if MAGA has a favorite restaurant chain, and found this list:
I actually like First Watch, first on the list, and I don't get any MAGA vibe when I visit First Watch.

Interesting link. Most of those chains are owned by private equity firms who are dismantling each company and stripping it for parts.
Our MAGAT government is doing the same thing with the country.
Coincidence?
