Cracker Barrel Puts Plant-Based Meat On The Menu, Alienating Fans Who Say The Restaurant Chain Has 'Gone Woke'

American restaurant chain Cracker Barrel has both shocked and impressed many online after it announced plant-based sausages will feature on its new menus. The restaurant, which seemingly appears at every highway rest stop in the continental United States, is accused of going woke and compromising its integrity by some angry customers.

In a post on Cracker Barrel’s official Facebook account, the well-known purveyor of down-home cooking revealed it would sell new Impossible ™ sausages. In the comments section, some melted down and got angry at the company.

The Facebook post was screenshotted and shared to other platforms, including Twitter. Many pointed out that those upset over the change could continue to order regular meat at Cracker Barrel.

But for some with a sentimental attachment to the Southern-style restaurant, the news must have hit hard.

Cracker Barrel has shown no signs of backing down despite some vocal backlash, and the restaurant is going forward with its plans and the vast majority of commenters on the Facebook page seem to approve. One can only wonder what the online outrage would be if Waffle House is the next to "fall."
