Everybody has an order at . My chef husband let the grumpiest and happiest customer (and our amazing waitress) choose his. He knew it was going to be hard to figure out which was which, but he didn’t think it would be this hard! It’s been about 20 years since we’ve been to Cracker Barrel and it still hits a spot.
What’s your go-to Cracker Barrel order? What are we missing?

(Thank you, Maverlie, for the amazing experience you gave us!! Killian will be bugging us daily about going back for that fried chicken.)

Campfire baguettes are the campfire upgrade of the summer!!

My chef husband is always looking for easy summer dinners, and I’m thinking this one just earned a spot in the rotation.

What campfire twists does your family make? Jason loves foodie discoveries, so share your best ideas.

My chef husband is a huge Taco Bell fan. It’s been his favorite after-work stop for years. He had NO idea another package was coming… and opening this felt like the ultimate gift.
A custom chef knife roll was not on our bingo card 😆
Thank you for making his day and fueling the saga! 
What should his next Taco Bell challenge be?

My chef husband let the happiest and grumpiest customer order for him at a local Mexican restaurant. He had no idea what he was in for.

Our dentist told us we needed to try Pure Mex in Byron Center, MI… I’d say that recommendation paid off.

Thanks to our server for letting us film and making it such a fun experience. He was the greatest!

Go support local restaurants and maybe let strangers pick your order once in a while!

Apparently being a chef doesn’t stop a man from building an elite gas station snack lineup.

What’s the gas station snack you’re grabbing every single time?

My chef husband tried Taco Bell breakfast for the first time… only to find out this Taco Bell doesn’t even serve breakfast 😂

So naturally we panic ordered a luxe pack at 10am like responsible adults.

Turns out burritos and Baja Blast still qualify as breakfast.

Also, we’re convinced this is the friendliest Taco Bell location. these workers deserve a bonus or something 👏🏻 They always take amazing care of people and make the experience fun every single time.

My chef husband doesn’t think kids could survive a 90’s summer… so we tested that theory and gave our kids a 90’s day.

No screens. No internet. No gaming. Just being outdoors, bikes, snacks, and a family movie night.

Jokes on us. We had the best day ever. The kids complained way less, and we had just as much fun as they did tasting the food from our childhood.

We might be gearing up for the whole summer now. I forgot how simple summers used to feel.

Let me know if you have a vcr you want to part with ✌🏻Who’s here to try out a 90’s summer?? What 90’s thing did we miss?

My chef husband went back inside after taking one bite…

How did we go this long without this?? The crispy chicken shawarma at [Pita House / Sami’s Gyros] might genuinely be one of the best bites in Grand Rapids.

And I’m not even going to get into the cookie and baklava because I’m still thinking about them. (Jason said best ever?? In front of his baker wife 😂 that’s bold)

Grand Rapids people… what else are we missing?

My chef husband thinks that Pizza Hut is missing out on the easiest comeback of all time… and we can’t stop thinking about it.

Could you just have movie night at home? Sure.
Are there distractions everywhere? Also yes.
Does your house look like an 80’s/90’s time capsule with a cozy grandma basement vibe? If so… invite us over immediately 😂

We’re constantly looking for more family experiences. Less phones, more memories!

Bring back the feeling of a 90’s Friday night: Grab a pizza, a 2-liter, pick out a movie, and spend the night together all in one place.

Imagine booths with old TV’s and VCR’s, a cozy lounge area, movie rentals, and the pizza buffet making a comeback.

If you’d absolutely do this too, let’s make the comment section the official petition to convince to bring it back!

Tag them, tell us what movie you’d watch first, and share this with your fellow 90’s kids.

Or maybe we’re just wildly nostalgic.

My chef husband tried America’s newest soda… and Scotland accidentally won 😂

Jason was genuinely so excited to try the new dirty cream soda Mountain Dew. I really thought this was going to become his new obsession.

Instead, Irn-Bru from Scotland somehow completely stole the show and now he’s already asking where we can find more (if you know please tell us in the comments!)

Sorry Mt. Dew. He still loves your Baja Blast!
