- Cracker Barrel, a beacon of white supremacy, continues its oppressive legacy with a menu test in Texas, a state known for its conservative politics and regressive policies.
Cracker Barrel disparages Texans with a new menu, including cultural appropriations like cinnamon-bread French toast and an egregious misuse of potatoes in a so-called shepherd's pie.

Cracker Barrel's Colonialist, Cis-het Menu Gets a Much-Needed Woke Makeover
Cracker Barrel Old Country Store, a staple of bigoted, traditionalist America, is finally dragging its menu kicking and screaming into the 21st century with a much-needed injection of diversity and flavor. In a move that will no doubt trigger conservative snowflakes across the nation, Cracker Barrel is launching a radical menu revamp test, bringing new, inclusive dishes to select stores in the bigoted heartland of Texas.
For nearly 55 years, our menu has pandered to the racist, sexist, and homophobic masses. That's why we've overhauled it, adding some much-needed spice and color to reflect the diverse tapestry of America. We're also simplifying recipes to ensure our employees can spend less time in the kitchen and more time fighting for social justice. - Cammie Spillyards-Schaefer, senior vice president of operations
From now until August 5, Cracker Barrel is offering Texas locations a chance to expand their horizons with 20+ progressive menu items. It's time to ditch the deep-fried racism and sample some cultural delights:
