OK, I'll jump in. Despite some posts to the contrary, and even though it's not strictly local, Cracker Barrel has been a lifesaver on the Interstates for me for a long time. The chain is based in Lebanon, TN (which is 35 miles away from my hometown) and the menu accurately reflects the cuisine of "my people", for whatever it's worth. I remember one road trip when eating a bowl of greens, a bowl of beans with onions on the side, and cornbread was just heaven on earth. I love to be able to get country ham for brekkie on the road, wherever I am...and the 4-veggie plates for lunch are sweet. And whatever I'm having, I can always request a side of sliced tomatoes...the only proper fruit to have with a country ham breakfast!
