Hooray! After trying to remediate Julie Masino, including lessening her responsibilities, Cracker Barrel\u00a0has announced a new CEO.\u00a0Interestingly, the outgoing Julie will retain an advisory role until only October 9, which is not long at all (often, CEOs who step down to \u201cspend more time with family\u201d consult for longer periods, perhaps even transitioning to the board).<\/p>

As I type, the stock is marginally down, but that\u2019s because the incoming CEO, David Deno, will clean house. The cracked company needs to be resealed. A deep, purifying purge could be disruptive for short-term traders, but mandatory to roll out the splendidly refurbished old Barrel.<\/p>\n

Missy Masino missed the mark. Her Woke focus on logos and store decors undermined the traditional appeal and charm of Southern comfort foods. Ruining such an established, highly-valued brand is unforgivable in and of itself, even if the menu retained its gastronomical delights.<\/p>\n

It did not!\u00a0 More like\u00a0gastronomical frights, with service that slights.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

In fact, the quality of food and service deteriorated while Julie obsessed about asserting her own unneeded and unwelcoming embellishments. Just look at this wannabee\u00a0chicken and dumplings meal\u00a0that degenerated into slop before hitting the table. Given a choice in side-by-side bowls, my old dog would probably have gone for his dry kibbles rather than that gunk — and he wasn\u2019t a food snob.<\/p>

It seems Missy Masino\u00a0can\u2019t keep a job\u00a0for very long. Perhaps she\u2019s now the poster girl for those highly educated, but downwardly mobile leftist women. Actually, not highly \u201ceducated\u201d but highly indoctrinated — to the point of distraction, obviously. I\u2019ll be keeping an eye out that the Peter Principle doesn\u2019t land her at my favorite restaurant as she continues her dubious DEI career.<\/p>\n

Good luck. Mr. Deno. Within your Barrel bailiwick, prove to Americans that all our recent World Cup visitors were right about Southern warmth and hospitality.\u00a0<\/p>
