Raising Cane’s

A week ago a coworker informed me of a place called Raising Cane’s that specialized in chicken fingers. The thought of that was awesome and odd at the same time. Well, yesterday I had to go out and get lunch and guess where I went? That’s right, Raising Cane’s.

I drove up to a building that was very simple, not much to it. As you can see, the logo has a very classic feel to it. If there’s one thing I’ve learned, is a lot of places who are very simple in their design have done most of their investing on the quality of their product, or food in this case.

Let me start by describing the inside of the restaurant.

As soon as I walked in I saw it had a modern,industrial, sports bar feel to it.

One of the very first things I noticed was the cool vintage movie theatre like sign and the disco ball.

There were touches of stainless steel all through out the place. Something about stainless steel that gives a place a clean, smoothness to it.

I then moved up to place my order. The menu was very basic and straight to the point. Another indication that they are focused on being great at one thing, chicken fingers.

I went with a 3 finger basket. The breading on the tenders was just right, a good mixture between crunchy and tender. Taste was amazing! To top it off, my tenders were served with a side of Texas toast, and my favorite, crinkled fries! Anyone who knows me knows that I’m a huge fan of crinkled fries!

As if that wasn’t enough, they had crushed ice, also on my top faves!

Why am I dedicating such a lengthy and detailed blog to this restaurant? Well, number one I was very inspired by the story behind how Raising Cane’s started. It’s Todd Graves’, founder of Raising Cane’s, dream being shot down time and time again, yet his passion and vision for it kept him going till he saw it all come to fruition. And of course the fact that it had all of my favorite things was definitely a plus! I will be a customer for life, no doubt.
