We had White Castle when we lived in Missouri (HS and college for me) mid 60s to 73. They were the butt of awful jokes about their quality, even then!
“It is business, not political Ideology”
Bingo. Nothing at all to do with politics. That is way blown out of proportion. It’s a struggling restaurant business that is old, gone stale, customer base is aging-out and they are trying to arrest the slide.
Yum! I can still taste those.
We had a Dairy Queen open near us in Hayden, Idaho a couple years ago. That’s another one that I figured was past its prime.
Red Lobster is on a long downhill slide. There’s one in Coeur d’Alene, ID. I stopped in a year ago and was so turned off by everything that I got up and left before ordering. It was a gross 1970s Naugahyde vibe. Talk about a place needing a refresh!

Maybe the food just sucks.
We had a “Fresh Choice” place near us that specialized in salads. I thought it was really good. But that failed.
Restaurants must be the hardest of all industries! Huge competition, fickle customers, changing tastes and trends, lots of external forces you can’t control, horrible labor market with high turnover.

“Still has his Adamâs apple, dude.”
yeah, very noticeable ...
Cracker Barrel still donates to socialist causes.
This CEO needs to go work for a WOKE crusade.
From her picture she’s Ugly, from her press she’s stupid and from her statements she’s woke.......That’s NOT a good way to go through life.
It really doesnât actually but some are better than others
Young people may not like country cooking admittedly
They tend to fetishize food they donât really know
Very few cook
Ah, so she admits it was woke!
And the problem is...?
You found a great article. I see 114 posts so far. She has a truly unshakeable self-image.
When you try to fix things that aren’t broke it goes bad fast.
(Uncle Benâs Rice, Aunt Jemimaâs Syrup, Land OâLakes butter.)
3 favorites of mine; for decades
Especially Uncle Benâs Rice
I have bought NONE of those since the rebranding
I refuse to participate
It’s destroying the country
Either way
Yikes - that neck
Dollars to doughnuts BlackRock owns that 75% of shares.
