Cracker Barrel Thanksgiving Dinner Review.....Or.....I won't do that again!

[1srelluc]

OK, the wife brought it home yesterday evening and put it all in the fridge.

This morning, I get it all out and WTF!

Turkey breast....A-OK.....Better than expected.

Cornbread stuffing.....Nasty, I'm debating even feeding it to my possum.

Turkey Gravy.....Like biting into a stalk of celery.....Blah.

Green beans.....A-OK....What there was of them.

Sweet potato casserole......Meh at best.

Pumpkin pie....Just fuckin' laughable.

I had added a pan of chicken and dumplins' to the order. They are just fine as usual.

So, I ended up making my own stuffing, gravy, baking a pumpkin pie, made/added a side of baked beans and mashed potatoes.

Oh well, it's working out though, my granddaughter and her kid is coming over having got the day off after all.

I feel your pain...but I always enjoy going to Cracker Barrel...don't make a habit of it tho. The peach cobbler w/ vanilla ice cream is out of this world. I don't smoke weed but if I did....I could smoke a bone, eat some of there PC and than take a nap right at my table

When I get home I will have a tofu, cauliflower, broccoli medley.

Only been there twice. Both pretty good meals. Probably best consumed fresh onsite.

Say hey to loser Kamala. I just saw where she's at some shelter in DC dolling out food to deadbeats.

Glad to hear you're having an enjoyable Thanksgiving. Condolences on your dinner. We did the same thing about 25 years ago from a local grocery store and we had the same opinion. Businesses just can't compare with what you make at home.

I guess it would be fine for people that don't know of any better.

That said I was right impressed with the turkey breast.

Basically, they took a whole breast, (maybe from a 12-14# turkey) boned it out and butterflied it with the skin still on. I might try that myself as it greatly reduced cooking time. It was still enough juice in the pan to baste it too.

I live in TN and I never really got it where Cracker Barrel is concerned.

I can go to several diners around here and get much better country food if I don't want to cook.

But after 4 years of doing all of the cooking, I prefer my own now. I don't even go to Outbacks anymore.

I can pay $20 for a couple of steaks and they're better than Outbacks which will cost me at least $70.

Lol.
I loved those.
They completely ruined them when they went to those plastic trays.

You won, and that's OK. You will lose again. And that's OK.

Happy Thanksgiving!

And microwave instead of in the oven

LOL.....I'm guessing you never saw DC's Mayor Barry handing out food.

It reminds me of this from New Jack City:



I always wondered if they didn't get the idea from the DC mayor's escapades.

Truth right there!

We got the whole nine yards, ready to pop into the oven and serve up, from Marie Callender's in North Seattle -- long ago.

It was fairly good, and of course the pies were amazing.

I don't think the chain exists in Seattle anymore.
