Steak ‘n Shake has BEEF.
Just when Cracker Barrel probably thought things couldn’t get any worse, a casual dining competitor came out of nowhere and absolutely, viciously, undoubtedly dunked on them. And it all got started when Cracker Barrel announced that they were rebranding after rolling out the same logo for close to fifty years.
