Kids meals persecutedMeg Ivey, Charger Staff Why can’t all restaurants be more like Cracker Barrel? No, I don’t
want an entertaining -yet –somewhat-tacky general store as part of the
restaurant or even the triangle game in which you can be labeled as “purty
dumb” or “egnoramous” according to the number of tees you end
up with. Restaurants should simply model themselves after Cracker Barrel’s menu,
especially noting the simple line “for kids of all ages.” No matter
if you are 2, 19, 45 or 80, you can order anything off the kids’ menu that
you want. What an ingenious idea! To actually let a customer order a smaller portion
if he so wishes. No extra food going to waste! No doggie bags left in the refrigerator
to grow mold! No overeating just because the food is there! You simply get how
much food you want…and no more. Ordering from the kids’ menu is not only practical for those who hate
wasting food, it also makes more sense economically. Entrees off the kids’
menus cost between two and four dollars, less than half of the usual seven to
twelve dollars most regular entrees cost. Although some of the choices are juvenile, like hot dogs or grilled cheese
sandwiches, most offer scrumptious selections of chicken tenders and hamburgers.
For those who require a little more food than the kids’ meal offers, simply
order a side salad to go with your kids’ chicken and you have a cheap,
satisfying meal. Kids’ meals should be available to any customer at any age. Not only are
they cheaper, they are also perfect for someone with a more dainty appetite.
