Cracker Barrel feat. Jen Liv (Stand-Up Comedian)

​

In this episode of Fine Dining: The Search for the Most Mediocre Restaurant in America:

​

â—‹ Part 1: Stand-up comedian Jen Liv LOVES Cracker Barrel so much (she's been to over 40 different ones!) that she hopped my car and road tripped with me to go there

â—‹ In this Eat Deets episode, the history of Cracker Barrel includes the franchise's humble beginnings as a gas station restaurant before growing into what it is today

â—‹ Learn what a "cracker barrel" actually is

â—‹ Jen laments her allergy to eggs (or as Cracker Barrel calls them, "aigs")

â—‹ Cracker Barrel has its own Indiana Jonesesque warehouse filled with decor

â—‹ A woman gushes about her Cracker Barrel experience so hard she rambles in poetic stanzas in this week's Yelp from Strangers

â—‹ Part 2: Coming closer to mediocrity than Applebee's (who scored 5.02/10), Cracker Barrel is the life-blood of this week's guest, stand-up comedian Jen Liv

â—‹ The rocking chairs aren't the only thing that swings in this Cracker Barrel Country Store...

â—‹ This week's Secret Menu mini-game: Kinky Restaurants

â—‹ The hostess was desperately trying to earn her fourth star

â—‹ Their biscuits are GOATed

â—‹ What we ate this week: Hand-Rolled Buttermilk Biscuits with Apple Butter, Cornbread, Biscuit Beignets, Fried Pickles, Chicken Fried Chicken, Country Fried Shrimp, Sirloin Steak, Macaroni n' Ch**se, Fried Apples, Baked Potato, Corn, & Peach Cobbler

â—‹ Rap music video premiere: "Cracker Barrel is Mid"
