Episode description

1) The restaurant Cracker Barrel has always been known for made-from-scratch biscuits and the little table peg game, but it's quickly becoming known for something else - internet controversy.

2) Seventy-five ingredients (seriously). Multiple retirement ceremonies. Passionate fans. Is there anything the McDonalds McRib doesn’t have going for it?? 

3) We’ve heard it our entire lives - wait 30-60 minutes after eating before you swim. But is it true? A commute investigation leads to an apology from Jay.
