Definiely breakfast.  Lunch and dinner are average at best.

The one in my neighborhood is enormous.  They have the biggest kitchen I've ever seen... half a dozen fryers, at least four ovens, acres of flat tops and grill.

The one nearest me does an excellent breakfast, and a good dinner.  I've had dinner at another location before, and I wasn't impressed.

Do they have a different menu for lunch?  I've somehow missed it if they did.

I like the golf tee game at Cracker Barrel.

My score is usually rated "ig-no-ray-moose".

The peg game is always fun, but I always end up being seated at a table that has had a primitive there.  I can tell because half of the pegs are missing.  

I shudder to think of where they went, or what they did with them to get them there.

Just 6 of us are going to have Thanksgiving at my house, all conservative, maybe 1 or 2 Obama sucks comments will be made, but most of the conversation will be about anything but politics.

As far as I know, they serve the same menu from open to close. Breakfast, lunch, or dinner any time of the day.

I've never had anything there that wasn't excellent. And their home office is here in red state hell.

Sweet potatoes with marshmallow/sugar is just wrong.  That stuff is so nasty.

I prefer mine with bacon and ground cumin.

I like em mashed with chipotle powder and sharp cheddar.

When I was a small child, we played with papier mache   in vacation bible school.

They never told us it was made from raw Apache fry bread.

I guess if we'd had hot plates we could have made lunch.

Our meal is similar to everyone else's...This is my 2nd Tgiving...my kids were with dad this year so we had ours 2 weeks ago with my guy and his crew at my home. Yesterday I spent it with his family and it was warm and enjoyable of course. No arguments, lot's of laughing and good times and we had so much of his family here that it was just really a great time. Again, no arguments, although his dad, a vet, and I shared our usual end of day/meal discussion on the ills of the US with Obama in office once everyone was on their way. It's kind of like a nightcap for us before everyone goes their way.  :-)

We had a great Thanksgiving, for the first time just us, at home.  It was great, you can smoke where you want to, drink what you want to since nobody's driving, watch what you want on TV, or just read a book, socialize or be by yourself, and eat in your pajamas.  What a pleasant day.  And then, high on tryptophan and wine, slept for 8-1/2 hours.

Also the napkins:  Give thanks.

I really enjoyed reading about everyone's Thanksgiving celebrations. From Karin's casual day to Maxiest's happy family gathering. Every one of you deserve two pats pat on the back and a heartfelt "Hooah!"

I had a great 3 day Thanksgiving (plus two days earlier this month when Moose came out). We had a big family dinner Thursday (to which I referred in another thread). That dinner ended with cigars and elderberry port (mmmmmmmm).

Red, Velvet, and I went to Wichita Friday for a getaway. We went to the Wyldewood Vinyard south of Wichita; a great cigar shop in Old Town with a coffee house next door; a wine bar just down the block; and then steak dinner. We relaxed with some more wine back at the hotel. This morning, we went to Yoder (an Amish town northwest of Wichita), and I had salt-cured bacon and carrot cake for breakfast. We walked through the little shops, did a little Christmas shopping for the little monsters (Red's grandkids).

The vinyard had some gourmet and fun foods. I picked up a jar of Baconnaise!

The only thought I gave to the Proglodytes all weekend was this morning when I was on CC over a cup of coffee, and once on the drive home. I thought myself, "Life is good", then pondered the fact that the capacity to enjoy life is foreign to the DUmpmonkeys. It's another of the things that separate them from us.
