Dolfan in NYC Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 12 minutes ago, Zartan said: Speaking of Golden Corral. Cracker Barrell is also terrible too. Always made me wonder about the food in Canada when people like Lance Storm and Jericho were always raving about how great CB is. A Frozen Mug Apple Cider makes this statement patently untrue. Also, the Louisiana Gold hot sauce is amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Technico Support Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 I've never been to a Golden Corral but it strikes me as the kind of place that doesn't ask how you want your steak cooked, as their usual clientele always wants it well done anyway. I like Cracker Barrel but I've only ever had eggs and pancakes there. I took Lance's advice and got the blueberry pancakes but with regular maple syrup, because I agree blueberry pancakes WITH blueberry syrup is just too fucking much blueberry. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt McGirt Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 I've never had anything BUT breakfast at Cracker Barrel and I consider getting anything else bizarre. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RRR Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 Never had breakfast so maybe that's what i'm missing out on. Had lunch/dinner at least a half a dozen times on road trips and always felt like the food level was above fast food but below an average restaurant in terms of quality.

Craig H Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 Cracker Barrel makes a decent grilled cheese sandwich. Can't speak much for anything else on the menu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt McGirt Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 Ooof. I can't think of what else they even have on their menu... fried chicken? Meatloaf? Pork chops? It's all about a cup of coffee and the Smokehouse Breakfast with all the sides you can get -- biscuits with ham! Basically that makes it like going to a weirdo pimped-out IHOP (and I actually like IHOP. Which probably says a lot). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Guy Named Tracy Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 Last time I was at Cracker Barrel, the jacked up dude at the table behind me was complaining about the size of his grilled chicken strips. He told the waitress to bring him some bigger ones. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's only one in my entire state, as I live up north. We went there and were told it was an hour plus wait. We went home and I made hot dogs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Fowler Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 The local Golden Corral went out of business here, it's over an hour to the nearest Cracker Barrel, and Waffle House is nothing but a rumor up here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OSJ Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 We have both Cracker Barrel and Golden Corral very close by. I'm quite happy ignoring both. If I want something unhealthy (which come to think of it, I do right now), I'll get a reuben at Arby's with some potato cakes and a chocolate shake. And yes, that's what I'm going to have for dinner! Mmmm-good. I can't think of a better way to spend the evening, watching old Portland Wrestling and enjoying an Arby's reuben. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, Cracker Barrel won't seat me, but even if they would, I would be too busy eating at Waffle House to care. At least if there were a Waffle House in Washington State.

Did you know you can get an all you can eat buffet w shrimp for *around 11.99? The around part would crack me up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Iron Yuppie Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 5 hours ago, Phantom Lord said: I wonder if Vince has ever seen Pulp Fiction? I mean the movie is almost 23 years old. That has to be within his viewing bubble. With all the XFL attention in recent weeks, I noticed something while watching the Vince-Costas interview. He mentions The Sopranos saying "the fuck word" and adds, "I happen to like the show." I chuckled. There's zero chance Vince watched The Sopranos. Freddie Prinze Jr. told a story on...I believe it was Sam Roberts' show. Prinze was flying on McMahon's jet and was watching a movie on his laptop. Vince asks what he's watching, Freddie tells him. Vince asks, "Why aren't you watching a Wrestlemania?!?" It's ironic how eat up Vince is with things other than wrestling -- namely football and movies -- when he seemingly lives in such a wrestling bubble. ETA: I'll never set foot in a Golden Corral. I'm not a buffet person, unless I'm in Las Vegas. But I became especially resolute in my vow to never eat Golden Corral when I saw ads for a community chocolate waterfall. Every form of virus and bacteria transmittable through the air or saliva has to live in that thing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted February 9, 2017 Author Share Posted February 9, 2017 I dropped the full story in the TV thread but I will mention it here due to the wrestling connections. Spike TV will be no more (well at least in sometime between now and the beginning of 2018) It is becoming Paramount TV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
