Campfire Meals Return to Cracker Barrel Menu

Diners can choose from chicken, beef, or shrimp skillets, all with a “distinctive, smoky taste,” as though prepared over a campfire. Each is braised with a special seasoning, wrapped in tinfoil, and slow-cooked “to induce a bounty of aroma and flavor.” They come with a variety of veggies, and a buttermilk biscuit or cornbread muffin. Prices start at $10.99. (Source and Photo: PR Newswire).
