It’s called “Private Equity” where people with money buy up restaurant brands and chains, then simplify and cheapen the menu to make more money from people who are loyal customers. They can ride the inertia for 3 or 4 years then liquidate the company in bankruptcy and come out ahead on the investment. It’s a crappy system but it works for the people who have the money when the restaurant chain runs out.
Idiots.
That’s Catfish and collards and black-eyes. And cornbread. And iced tea.
I lived in Georgia for four years, and hadn’t heard of this, but why bother changing this when black eyed peas are so inexpensive, for one day per year?
This is a delicious and very different blackeye pea recipe, and very good for New Year’s Day:

There will be another. Buccees.
I don’t really care. I like to cook my own food.
Did they replace the woke female CEO with the ridiculous hipster glasses and the double-barreled surname?
Unreal..... freakin unreal.
I whompped up a mess of blacked eyed peas with corn pone yesterday for just in case.
I just hope they kept pork and sauerkraut on the Jan 1 menu…
......Cracker Barrel has quietly stopped serving black-eyed peas on New Year’s Day, a Southern dish that, according to legend, brings good fortune in the new year.....
Our New Year’s Day custom is different—Pork and Sauerkraut! But we do it at home.
Cracker Barrel should continue to honor Southern New Year’s Day customs! Phooey!
The message for Cracker Barrel seems to be “never change anything”. They must be wildly popular just as they are.
Went into Publix on Wednesday... even before I got to the usual bakery items just inside the front door, I saw a table chock full of black-eyed pea bags.
“Enraged”???
Total clickbait
Those people are idiots. If they want to know how to present their store is simple. Ask your customers what they like. Do not decide what they like. Go to a biker bar and aside for a request of scantily clad young nubile waitresses they will give pretty good advice. They also want cheaper beer.
My above two paragraphs would have saved Cracker Barrel millions of dollars that were lost due to woke idiocy.
CB NEEDS to fire all their woke PR advisors immediately- Hire some old time common sense PR agents, and FIX the mess they are in now because some snot nosed woke college grad-like PR decided to be PC
They promised to undo the changes, but they have not done so. Their once-great pancakes now suck.
You can make hummus out of black eyed peas.
Aw Geez, now its the doggone peas. Order something else and shut up or eat elsewhere.
Don’t gripe, that only hurts you, the griper. Just don’t go there, that hurts the Leftists.
