Times are tough right now in the ‘egg game,’ whatever that is, because of this pesky bird flu. You heard of it? It's been going around for a while now, and really putting a dent in our livestock.
I assume it will be a raging pandemic at some point relatively soon that the left drums up to be the start of the apocalypse, but, you know, we'll see. For now, though, it's mainly impacting chickens. Which affects our eggs.
Which, in turn, affects our great food establishments across this great country.
Waffle House, earlier this week, announced a 50-cent surcharge on eggs because they're so damn expensive right now. Nasty move, but I get it. You gotta do whatcha gotta do.
Unless you're Cracker Barrel – AKA the GOAT of the breakfast game in America. Cracker Barrel would never pull such a move. Not today, not tomorrow, not ever.
Cracker Barrel has drawn a line in the sand My GOD. What a post. What a shot. What a restaurant.
"Egg surcharges? Never heard ot it. Order eggs and get double the pegs now through next Wednesday 2/12"
Hey, Waffle House – PISS OFF. Cracker Barrel proves, once again, why it was always be on top of the mountain in this business.
Now, am I a bit biased? Sure. I'm the unofficial (official) Cracker Barrel guy here at OutKick. Love this place more than I love my two kids. I grew up getting fat at the Cracker Barrel, and, while I don't get there as often nowadays, I still defend her to the death.
Great rocking chairs, great gifts if you like old country CDs and vintage candy – and who doesn't? – and great food. Sunrise sampler? Elite. The pancakes? Better the IHOP. The eggs? Well, come on. Clearly better than woke Waffle House!
And hey, now you get double the pegs with every egg order! For those who don't understand Cracker Barrel lingo, it's just their reward system. Yes, I'm confused by it, too. Yes, I also thought it was the sexual term at first. It is not. No worries!
Anyway, there's a war breaking out in the food & beverage game, and Cracker Barrel has drawn a line in the sand.
Pick your fighter, America.
Treat your tastebuds to a Waffle House waffle. You will become a repeat customer.
The article drips with condensension.
The author appears to look down on people who eat at either place.

Back in the ‘70’s and ‘80’s, my son and I used to stop at Waffle House around 4:30 in the morning during deer hunting season on our way to hunt...
It was great food and super friendly staff at that time of morning....
Waffle House has the best late-night ghettopottamus fight videos, too.
Cracker Barrel was under assault by the queer and negro woke boobs 25 years ago before we said woke
It was southern country and Christian
A natural target for what we now know has always acted in concert
I knew the founding family in lebanon TN
They were decent genuine folks
And the food better
But those here thinking Waffle House is superior food wise to Cracker Barrel as a rule must have come up rough
Its news to me that Waffle House is “woke”. The common denominator among all WHs: the female wait staff there looks like they’ve lived tough lives.
Cracker Barrels are closing in California - have no idea why b/c the one we go to is always very crowded. Unfortunately, the recent spike in the price of eggs won’t help their bottom line if they’re struggling (saw store brand eggs yesterday for $9.99/dozen, and there was only one on the shelf).
Closing in maine too.
The governor managed to import enough of the ghetto and illegal problems that the state is effectively ruined
So in that 6 week period I sampled almost everything on the Cracker Barrel menu.
Conclusion: Mostly edible - But not going back anytime soon.
But do you want to be called “hon?”
Saw this happen in California, sorry it is happening in your state. Many Dennys have closed because the area became too dangerous.
Black Bear Diner beats WaHo and the Crack Barrel breakfast-wise.
“Wages War With Woke Waffle House”
That’s a bunch of W’s!
Waffle House was open during Hurricane Harvey in Houston. The hurricane that got stuck over us for three days and flooded the heck out of us.
I don’t think anything else was open, but Waffle House was, for a few hours a day.
I would think the vast majority of people who can’t do without eggs and for whom the surcharge is a problem would be cooking their eggs at home. The majority of the cost of a breakfast restaurant visit isn’t going to be the eggs.
There is an ‘unofficial’ Waffle House Scale that is used by some Emergency crews.

And so it begins...

Waffle House is woke? They aren’t the ones who did gay theme rocking chair adds for anal sex month.
