Now hungry restaurant-goers looking for their homestyle favorites at
Cracker Barrel Old Country Store® can find them plus a whole lot more.
The new Wholesome Fixin’s menu category features 11 low calorie,
better-for-you choices, with fresh ingredients and full-bodied flavor.
Wholesome Fixin’s, with breakfast options under 500 calories and
lunch/dinner options less than 600 calories, were created to meet the
growing demand for lower calorie menu options. The challenge was to
create fresh, light, lower calorie menu choices without sacrificing the
homestyle flavors that guests enjoy and have come to expect. Sometimes
when food is described as “better-for-you,” or “low calorie,” the
assumption is that it won’t taste very good. Sacrificing great taste at
Cracker Barrel Old Country Store was not an option. The result was
Wholesome Fixin’s, Homestyle Meals With a Lighter Twist®.
“We worked for over a year to develop the Wholesome Fixin’s meals to
provide our guests with meal options that are lighter, full of flavor
and a great value,” explained Cracker Barrel Senior Vice President of
Marketing Chris Ciavarra. “It took a while because we didn’t want to
just take things out, we wanted to stay true to handcrafted, quality
ingredients, and we wanted to put in flavor, texture, great ingredients
and ample portions. From Egg n’ Cheese Sliders to Spice Rubbed Pork
Chop, Pecan Crusted Catfish, and four new side items, Wholesome Fixin’s
are now a permanent addition to Cracker Barrel’s core menu.”
