Cracker Barrel Celebrates Pride with Drag Brunch and Bud Light

Cracker Barrel's Business Booms Despite Conservative Boycotts Thanks to Drag Queen Brunch and Bud Light

Cracker Barrel Old Country Store, the popular Southern-themed restaurant chain, has seen a surge in business despite facing boycotts from conservative groups for its support of Pride Month.

The reason? A new menu item that has attracted customers from all walks of life: the drag queen brunch.

The drag queen brunch, which is offered every Sunday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., features a variety of dishes such as rainbow pancakes, glitter grits, and fabulous french toast. But the main attraction is the live entertainment provided by some of the most talented drag queens in the country, who perform songs, dances, and comedy routines while interacting with the guests.

"We wanted to do something fun and different to celebrate Pride Month and show our support for the LGBTQ+ community," said Cracker Barrel CEO Sandra Cochran. "We thought a drag queen brunch would be a great way to bring people together and have a good time."

The drag queen brunch has been a hit with customers, who have flocked to Cracker Barrel locations across the nation to enjoy the food and the show. Many have posted positive reviews and photos on social media, praising the quality of the food, the service, and the entertainment.

"I had so much fun at the drag queen brunch at Cracker Barrel," wrote one customer on Facebook. "The food was delicious and the drag queens were amazing. They were so funny and friendly, and they made everyone feel welcome. I can't wait to go back next week."

Another customer tweeted: "Cracker Barrel's drag queen brunch is the best thing that ever happened to me. I got to meet my favorite drag queen, Trixie Mattel, and she complimented my outfit. I almost died. Thank you Cracker Barrel for making my dreams come true."

The drag queen brunch has also attracted some celebrities, who have joined in on the fun. Singer Dolly Parton, who is a longtime supporter of Cracker Barrel and has a line of products sold at its gift shops, made a surprise appearance at a Nashville location last week, where she performed some of her hits and posed for pictures with the drag queens and the customers.

"I love Cracker Barrel and I love drag queens," Parton said. "I think it's wonderful that they are doing this for Pride Month. It's all about love and acceptance, and that's what I stand for."

However, not everyone is happy with Cracker Barrel's drag queen brunch. Some conservative groups have called for a boycott of the chain, accusing it of betraying its traditional values and alienating its core customer base.

"Cracker Barrel has gone too far," said Texas Family Project, a conservative organization that promotes family values. "They have abandoned their roots and their loyal customers who made them successful. They have sold out to the radical left and the LGBTQ+ agenda. They have turned their restaurants into dens of sin and debauchery. We urge all Americans who care about morality and decency to stop eating at Cracker Barrel."

But Cracker Barrel is not backing down from its decision to support Pride Month and offer the drag queen brunch. Cochran said that the boycotts have had no negative impact on the chain's sales or reputation, and that the drag queen brunch has actually boosted its business and attracted new customers.

"We are proud of our drag queen brunch and we are not going to stop it," Cochran said. "We believe that everyone is welcome at our table, no matter who they are or who they love. We are not going to let a few hateful voices drown out the many positive ones. We are going to keep serving our customers with great food and great entertainment, and we hope they keep coming back for more."

In addition to the drag queen brunch, Cracker Barrel has also started serving alcohol at its restaurants for the first time in its history. However, there is only one brand of beer available: Bud Light.

"We wanted to offer our customers a refreshing beverage option that goes well with our food," Cochran explained. "We chose Bud Light because it is light, crisp, and has a rainbow logo that matches our rocking chair."

Bud Light has also faced backlash from some conservatives for its support of Pride Month and its partnership with TikTok star Dylan Mulvaney, a trans rights activist and actress. Sales of Bud Light have plummeted since the beer brand launched its rainbow campaign last month.

But Cracker Barrel is not worried about losing customers over its choice of beer. Cochran said that Bud Light has been selling well at its restaurants, especially during the drag queen brunch.

"Our customers love Bud Light," Cochran said. "They say it tastes like freedom and equality. And it goes great with our glitter grits."

Border Patrol Sends Steven Anderson to Armenia Over Misunderstanding

When Your Theological Flex Gets Lost in Translation Original image is Public Domain, courtesy of the United States Department of Homeland Security BORDER PATROL CHECKPOINT, AZ - In a bizarre twist of theological proportions, Pastor Steven Anderson's latest encounter with Border Patrol agents took an unexpected turn when he attempted to evangelize his way through a routine checkpoint. When asked about his citizenship, Anderson reportedly launched into an impromptu sermon, declaring, "I'm a citizen of Heaven, brother! Let me tell you about the Good News!" As the bemused agent tried to detain him, Anderson proclaimed, "You can't detain me! I'm free to believe because I'm Arminian!" The agent, mishearing the theological term, immediately sprang into action, shouting, "Armenian? We've got ourselves an illegal!" Chaos ensued as agents attempted to deport the protesting pastor to Armenia. "I said Arminian, not Armenian!" Anderson...

Pastor Jane's Inappropriate Relationships Spark Cheers of 'Yaaaaasss Queen' Amidst Ecclesiastical Double Standards

Breaking the Stained-Glass Ceiling: Pastor Jane's Scandalous Path to Feminist Icon Status In a groundbreaking moment for ecclesiastical equality, Pastor Jane Doe has become a beacon of feminist empowerment after being caught in a series of inappropriate relationships with male congregants. Her actions have sparked a wave of support, with many hailing her as a "Yaaaaasss Queen" for shattering the stained-glass ceiling. While male pastors have historically faced defrocking for similar indiscretions, Pastor Jane's case has been celebrated as a triumph of modern feminism. "Why should men have all the fun?" quipped one supporter, highlighting the double standards that have long plagued religious institutions. Critics, however, point to biblical texts that traditionally restrict the role of pastor to men and suggest women should remain silent in church. Yet, Pastor Jane's followers argue that these interpretations are outdated and patriarchal. "If she can...

Once Judeo-Christian Nation Watches Debate To Determine Which Immoral Reprobate Best Qualified to Lead

Nation’s Moral Compass Goes Haywire, Formally Resigns Following Debate Philadelphia - In a spectacle that could only be described as a divine comedy, the nation once hailed as a "Judeo-Christian" nation gathered to watch the presidential debate, eager to determine which immoral reprobate would best lead them forward. The candidates, both seasoned in the art of moral ambiguity, took the stage with the confidence of televangelists at a Sunday sermon.   As the candidates took the stage, the audience was treated to a spectacle reminiscent of a reality show, complete with mudslinging and moral gymnastics that would make even the most seasoned circus performer blush. One candidate, known for his "alternative facts," argued passionately that he had the best rallies in the history of political rallies, while another claimed to be “unburdened by the past” [but still current] administration’s numerous international scandals and blunders, promising that to fix everything she h...
