You can substitute "regular" cheddar for white. While there is considerable difference between various cheddars, the only difference between yellow and white is food coloring, usually annatto or paprika oil, which is added to the cheese to give it the darker, orange color with which most Americans are familiar.

i also go to a cracker barrel restaurant but i don't think they sell cheese.
they sell cast iron cookware, old time candies and other old time counrty store stuff along with counrty ham and bacon but no cheese. LOL
Cabot's Vermont Cheddar is white. Pretty much, all New York and Vermont cheddars are white, because they aren't colored yellow. and you can get them in varying degrees of sharpness, depending upon your taste preference.
Thank you everyone, And Scotch, Different cheese play different roles in your dishes, We made this mac & cheesxe from AOL recipe data base and it called for mild white chedder, But we had mild chedder. Needless to say that the Mac & cheese tasted gritty for some reason.
By the way MSMOfet, That looks like our cracker barrol in Mi.
