DonRocks Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 I swore for a moment I was looking at something from "The Onion," but I wasn't: "Couple One Visit Away from Visiting Every Cracker Barrel in America" by Katie Kindelan on abcnews.go.com Some peoples' impression may be to laugh and dismiss, but I've done similar "themed" vacations where the theme itself is a MacGuffin, just to enjoy the travel itself. This couple looks like they're truly happy and in love, and as for Cracker Barrel not being healthy or good food, well, look at their age. Of course, the Yoders are only in their early 40s.

Tweaked Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 I hope they have at least figured out the peg board game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Escoffier Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 Why haven't they overdosed on cuteness and ersatz antique-y kitsch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
astrid Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 My one visit to Cracker Barrel was terrible enough. Everything there is cooked to death, greasy, and oversalted. Might as well swallow a bundle of dynamite, a can of Crisco, a can of Morton's, and be done with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanielK Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 It's not haute cuisine, but sometimes on a road trip, when it's that or some other chain, their perfectly acceptable chicken fried steak does the trick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tweaked Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 Also for road trips: Their all day breakfast doesn't suck. And not a bad choice when confronting the Vegetarian Veto. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My usual reaction would be to dismiss stories like this, but ultimately isn't stuff like this what retirement is about? Picking up something to do that's a shared interest, hopefully with someone you love? I'm not about to hit the road anytime soon, but good for the Yoder's.
