Available March 19th through May 6th, Cracker Barrel's new Southern Bowls are a mashup between popular breakfast foods and classic Southern dishes. There are three different options to choose from, the first being the Fried Chicken Benedict Bowl, which combines crispy fried chicken with two over-easy eggs and a buttermilk biscuit. The Ham n' Maple Bacon Bowl also includes buttermilk biscuits, along with hickory-smoked country ham, maple pepper bacon, and sweet sugar-cured ham. Finally, the Sausage, Grits Cakes n' Green Tomato Gravy Bowl combines two deep-fried cheese grits cakes topped with sausage and green tomato gravy.
