1.4 million meals will be served during nine day period
LEBANON, Tenn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
More than half of all Americans will feast on takeout this Thanksgiving,
according to the National Restaurant Association. It's time-saving,
fuss-free and a low-labor way to have a great meal without spending a
lot of time in the kitchen. According to the executive chef at Cracker
Barrel Old Country Store®, less time preparing a meal and cleaning up
afterward means more time to spend with loved ones during the holidays.
"Thanksgiving is the busiest day of the year for our restaurants and we
expect we'll serve about 1.4 million meals over the nine day
Thanksgiving holiday season," said Bill Kintzler, Cracker Barrel Old
Country Store executive chef. "We're open on Thanksgiving Day from 6
a.m. to 10 p.m. for dine in and to-go meals."
Cracker Barrel estimates they use nearly 24,000 cases of turkey breasts
for their Thanksgiving dinners. Cracker Barrel's Thanksgiving menu and
to-go options are available at all 634 Cracker Barrel Old Country Store®
locations.
"For those families who prefer to do their own cooking, Cracker Barrel
offers great options for adding to your own menu like one of our fresh
baked whole pies for 8.99," Kintzler added. "We will sell approximately
600,000 pies, which is 3.6 million slices, during November and December."
