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.
