Riepilogo rapido

Cracker Barrel presents challenges with their home-style Southern cooking, which relies heavily on grano, butter, and gravies. However, Grigliate Proteine and Semplice Verdure can work.

Scelte migliori: Grigliate Pollo, scrambled Uova, Bacon, steamed Verdure

Evitare sempre: Biscuits, country-fried items, gravy, dumplins, casseroles

The Southern Cooking Challenge

Cracker Barrel’s charm is home-style comfort food, which typically includes:

  • Biscuits with everything (grano)
  • Gravy on everything (grano + cipolla)
  • Butter in everything (lactose)
  • Fried preparations (breading)

You’ll need to order against the grain of their menu.

Come ordinare

  1. Focus on “Grigliate” - Avoid anything fried or country-fried
  2. Skip the biscuits - They come automatically with most meals
  3. Say Senza to gravy - Sawmill gravy is a signature but contains grano
  4. Richiedere Semplice preparation - Their seasonings may contain FODMAPs
  5. Choose Semplice sides - Steamed Verdure are your friends

Breakfast Strategy

Breakfast is your best bet at Cracker Barrel:

  • Uova (scrambled, cooked in oil)
  • Bacon or ham
  • Freschi fruit
  • Skip the pancakes, biscuits, and hash brown casserole

Sides to Consider

Safe(r) sides with modifications:

  • Steamed broccoli (Senza butter)
  • Corn on the cob (Senza butter)
  • Applesauce (check for HFCS - small portion)
  • Freschi fruit
