re: Cracker Barrel

I was curious because I had no idea there was controversy about Cracker 
Barrel so I looked up the Wikipedia article on it.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cracker_Barrel

Here's a USA Today article about racial discrimination that was written a 
few years pre- Chris Rock's Mom's lawsuit.

I haven't been near one myself for years. When I was in college, it was 
often the only place available at pit stops on the drive from Miami to 
Atlanta. They tend to be placed near roadside strip mall or outlet malls in 
small Southern towns. The food is real mediocre; but it's sitdown menu 
service.

I would say I now plan to boycott them as well; but I never really intended 
to ever go to one again anyway.
I suppose if I'm in a situation where I'm faced with one in the future 
though, I'll go find the Burger King.
