Cracker Barrel fans beg for old menu favorites as brand revamp sparks nostalgia backlash

Customers of Cracker Barrel are pressuring the chain to bring back beloved items like the Sunrise Sampler and other nostalgic dishes after the company rolled out a rebrand and modernization effort that many see as erasing the brand’s traditional comfort-food staples.
