Are you down with “Down on the Farm?”

Breakfast …the most important meal of the day.

We don’t think the health nuts had the country style breakfasts we are going to talk about in mind when they said that. Biscuits, country gravy, pancakes, waffles, french toast, bacon, sausage, eggs, and list goes on. When traveling (or near home), there is nothing like a big, filling breakfast. Today, we compare two places that have dominated that meal for travelers and church goers, or even just hungry people.

Today, Food Adventures asks you to look inside yourself and tell us,

Or are you a Cracker Barrel addict?

“Who’d You Rather” get it on with … BOB EVANS or CRACKER BARREL ?

This article is in the spirit of the TMZ headlines.. Who’d you rather??

Bob Evan’s Pancakes

You may have noticed our other head to head installments like “Five Guys or Smashburger?” or “El Rancho Grande or El Toro?” or how about “Chipotle or Qdoba?” and even most recently Who’d You Rather, “Fricker’s or Rooster’s?”

Let’s get to the breakdown…

HUNGRY JAX VOTE: CRACKER BARREL
This skinny, hungry mom is hooked on two menu items that have stolen her heart … Cracker Barrel’s

Cracker Barrel’s Country Fried Steak

Pancakes and Cracker Barrel’s Potato Casserole. For her this makes the choice clear. The kid from up North picks the place from down South.

BIG RAGU’S VOTE: CRACKER BARREL:
The Big Ragu took a more mathematical approach. Bob Evans gets the edge for best breakfasts, although both have incredible French Toast. You know the incomparable biscuits. And Bob Evan’s Pancakes are to die for. But when we talk lunch and dinner, Cracker Barrel kicks some butt. The fish dinners are silly good. The Country Fried Steak is delicious too. Even the side dishes like the dumplings or the fried okra are amazing. It is pretty much a deep fried pardise with gravy for lunch and dinner. That solidifies Ragu’s vote ! We would be remiss if we did’t give honorable mention to Bob Evan’s salmon dinner.
