Awww, I walked into one of my favorite restaurants. I could spend hours here...this is one of the few places that I don't mind shopping. Cracker Barrel, they reflect "made in the USA" along with traditional American. There were several Cast Iron cookware that I wanted to buy. But I was afraid it would be too heavy to get home.
I walked by the fireplace, it had a real fire burning in the fireplace. Not one of those gas fires with fake logs. These were real logs with ashes collecting underneath. On the tables were old fashioned oil lamps. Collectables are scattered around te restaurant and in the store for sale are old fashioned stick candy and several candy and pop options that aren't readily available near my place.
There were so many options. They had a special that sounded good. Buttermilk breaded chicken (baked and the breading was a crumbled surgar-free cereal), a smokey flavored green bean tasted like it could have been cooked in a cast iron pot hanging over the fire. They had a grounded, smokey taste. The sweet potato was cooked to a smooth texture. Sprinkled inside was a surprising spicy cinnamon that was just a touch of sweet. It was served with rolls and so I could sample, I ordered one of each (buttermilk buscuit and cornmeal muffin).
I have been told that after 2-3 bites you don't taste your food. Not with this meal. I tasted and enjoyed every single bite.
