We had millennials try Cracker Barrel for the first time by Irene Kim and Exa Zim on Sep 20, 2018, 5:25 PM Cracker Barrel is a popular Southern-style chain restaurant and road trip stop known for their hearty food and unique gift shop. It's a cult-favorite in the South, beloved for their Southern-style cooking. We had millennials try everything from country fried steak to sawmill gravy for the first time. Following is a transcript of the video. Millennials try Cracker Barrel for the first time Irene: Hey guys! So we’re on our way to try Cracker Barrel. There isn’t one in New York, so we’re going on a short road trip to New Jersey! Nick: Woo! We ordered four of Cracker Barrel's most popular items. We even had our coworkers try it. Nian: Gelatinous. It tastes very gelatinous. Nico: It’s really good! Nick: It looks really good, smells really good. So let's dig in! Chicken n' Dumplins Irene: I know you can't judge it by its appearance but I am a little suspicious. Shirley: It looks a little bit sad. Nico: It looks just kind of mushy. Nian: It doesn’t look super appetizing and it definitely doesn’t look like a dumpling. Irene: I don't think these should be called dumplings because these aren't dumplings. Nian: Gelatinous. It tastes very gelatinous. Nico: It wasn’t bad, the texture was a little weird, it’s kind of mushy in my mouth but the taste is really good. I really do like the taste of it. Country Fried Steak Nick: I've never had a deep fried steak. It just sounds like I'm going to have a heart attack. Travis: This does not look good - to be honest. Solete: It doesn’t look like a steak at all. Hannah: I do not know what country fried steak is. Irene: It's kind of salty. Nick: It tastes a little bit like a hamburger. Hannah: It tastes like the worst hamburger I’ve eaten in my whole life. Travis: I don’t really know what it tastes like. Solete: It’s edible. Loaded Hashbrown Casserole Irene: So now we have the Hashbrown Casserole, so it's a casserole made of, presumably hash browns. Nick: And cheese? Nico: It just kind of looks pale and a little sad. Shirley: The Hashbrown Casserole does look appetizing because it has cheese in it and I love cheese. Irene: I don't think you like it Nick: It's not bad. Nico: That’s delicious! That’s awesome. It just tastes like a hash brown, you can’t really mess that up. Shirley: It’s pretty good. I like hash browns and this is no different. I enjoy it. Macaroni n' Cheese Nian: Usually I love mac ‘n’ cheese but this looks a little...I don’t know, it looks a little sad. Travis: It looks fine. Hannah: I didn't eat a lot of the cafeteria meals in middle school growing up but this is what that food looks like. Nick: It's definitely unlike any mac 'n' cheese I've had before. Irene: I feel like the noodles are bigger? Nick: Also, the cheese tastes different than what I'm used to. Nian: Is this great? No. Travis: Hmm. I mean it kind of tastes like what you might expect from a fast food place. Hannah: It was okay. It was just mac ‘n’ cheese, there wasn’t really anything special about it. FINAL THOUGHTS Irene: I want one of these in New York just so I can drink sweet tea every day. Irene: It's very satisfying. Southern food is comfort food so I like that. Nick: I definitely feel like I'd eat this when I'm sad. Travis: I think Cracker Barrel’s food is okay. It’s not the best; I’ve had a lot better from similar chain restaurants. Nico: I wouldn’t judge it by how it looks because the taste is actually really delicious. Nico: If I ever go to Cracker Barrel in real life, I’d definitely get the country fried steak. Nian: I can see why people would like this but personally it’s just not for me. Solete: I’m not used to this kind of food but I would eat this and I like it. What do you think of Cracker Barrel?
