Cracker Barrel


Love of mine....

Today, after the Toastmasters contest, we went to the Cracker Barrel in St. Charles, MO.

For a fake old fashioned restaurant, Cracker Barrel has some darned good food. Today, I had a sausage skillet, which had onions, peppers, eggs, cheese and, of course, sausage. Served with incredible two buttermilk biscuits, it's a very inexpensive - and large - meal.

Our waitress, Connie, with a southern drawl that fit right in to the atmosphere. She turned out to be an expert at pouring tea out of both the left and right side of the pitcher. Not an easy feat considering she was adeptly handling many tables.

Of course, no visit to Cracker Barrel is complete without a visit to the gift shop. The had some cute Easter items out, and a lot of winter clothing that was 50% off.

I hardly ever go there, because I always forget it's there - tucked right next to the Convention Center - but I'm always glad (and full!) when I remember.
