Send the winter doldrums packing with a visit to Cracker Barrel Old Country Store for garden fresh selections on the menu and throughout the store from March 19 through May 23.
“Fresh fruits and vegetables, from baby spinach to green tomatoes and bananas to strawberries, are presented in fresh new ways on our Spring Seasonings menu,” says Cracker Barrel Chef Bill Kintzler.
“We simmer the Shrimp n’ Grits with fresh green tomatoes and serve the meal in a personal skillet. Our Grilled Chicken n’ Spinach Salad is tossed with a flavorful combination of fruits, cheese, and nuts. We’ve chosen seasonal ingredients at the peak of their goodness and combined them in a way that we hope will pique our guests’ interest.”
