The sauce man. The sauce. You cut the bread in half put a tinder insider and pour the sauce

It's fast food man. You can't expect it to be perfect in every way. The minute you get food from a place where you can order from your car you have to lower your expectations a little bit. Stop being a needy whiney faggot.

They opened up literally next door to a Chick-fil-a and I can't understand why their drive-thru line is so long when there's a better substitute 12 feet away

Hello friend, you've unknowingly committed one of the three cardinal Cane's sins, the other two of which are not substituting your slaw for extra sauce and not opening the styrofoam box when you get a to-go order to prevent sog: eating the tendies plain.

You see, Raising Cane's is a delicate, delectable balancing act of flavors, temperatures, and textures. Every item that comes with a meal is intended to be chained together. The tendie should ALWAYS be covered in some sauce, and you should ALWAYS follow up a bite with a french fry, a sip of your Arnold Palmer, some Texas toast, or a mix-and-match of the three. This gets you an immediate difference in sensation and flavor to compare against the scorching-hot chicken, tempered only by the cold, creamy sauce, much like pairing wine with cheese, to the betterment of both. There are many correct ways to enjoy the modern culinary jazz experience that is Cane’s, you’ve just so happened to pick the single incorrect one.

Make no mistake, Cane's tendies are consistently piping-hot, the fries are consistently salted, the sauce tastes the exact same way every time. The food comes out near instantly, the tea and lemonade are always fresh, and the employees will always give you the exact same amount of ice. Why, you might ask? Because to the seasoned eater, these are the perfect ratios of heat, of crunch, of quench for a melange that is as perfect as it is fairly priced, one that is limited only by your imagination and your understanding of all of my previous points.

I understand and sympathize with your error—many have made it in the past, and many will make it in the future. But surely the 30-car drive-thru, the rave reviews, the completely full parking lot, and the stalwart Cane’s customer loyalty are evidence of some larger disconnect between you and them beyond opinion.

Thanks for reading, and have a blessed day!

Any chicken place that depends on the sauce to be enjoyable is utter shit. Especially when you consider that Cane's sauce is the exact same type of thing as Zax Sauce (and that Zaxby's has flavorful chicken).

>>15004146
Your supposed to use a shit load of their sauce on everything. Without the sauce you just have mediocre chicken and soggy fries.

>>15004376
Why on earth would you substitute your slaw for an extra sauce when you can substitute it with another piece of toast instead and just pay 25 cents for an extra sauce?

>>15004146
I work at Canes AMA

If you learn to cook basics you would never want to eat at a restaurant ever again.

Even a simple hamburger or grilled cheese is better than any restaurant but I'm sure some fat and lazy slob would disagree

>>15004160
That takeaway is just down the road from me. It's shit.

>>15004148
Why are third-wolders so obsessed with Americans?

Because regional chains breed insane cult followings. Same reason in n out is worse than mcdonalds but you have rabid fanboys defending it

>>15004146
those dogs look like chicken nuggets

The mediocre chicken is a vehicle for eating the canes sauce

>>15004146
i had it for the first time last week. the best part was the texas toast. other than that it was nothing special. still enjoyable though

>>15004425
The shape reminded me of fried chicken a tad more.

>>15004395

Although this is true, it's hard to have all those items all the time. Like making pizza from scratch can be a chore. Can get rather time consuming when you're busy. I don't cook for a living, got other stuff to do sometimes.

>>15004146
People are addicted to fat, sugar, and salt. After you murder your chicken tendys in their "Raisin Cane's Sauce" you've got all three.

What do you guys put on the bread

>>15004781
Garlic butter

>>15004146
try Pollo Campero

good shit

>>15004377
>Any chicken place that depends on the sauce to be enjoyable is utter shit

Been echoing this sentiment to my friends for years. Cane's is fucking garbage. Tried it 3 times at three different locations, always the same experience. Covering up shitty chicken with the flavor of sauce doesn't magically make the chicken better.

There is no redeeming quality to Cane's. Saucefags deserve the rope.

>>15005528
>comes out piping hot literally every time
puts it above every other chain, even chick fil a is lukewarm 20% of the time

>>15005537
You are a waste of genetics.

>>15004146
There is no hype. It's the Little Caesars of fried chicken. They aren't the best, they aren't the worst, but you get more chicken for your money and it's just about the chicken without other gimmicks and shit. They have their own special sauce, but it's generic as that shit goes but still good. They have crinkle fries and texas toast. That's all they are and all they have.

You go there when you want to have fried chicken, not to have one piece of KFC supplemented with potato sides because ordering a second piece of chicken costs $5.

Their lemonade is fucking great though.

>>15004146
>he didn't dip it in the sauce
Do you go to sea food restaurants and buy the steak only to complain?

>>15004146
People argue that it's because of the sauce, but the sauce sucks too.
There's no seasoning at all on the chicken and its a disgrace.

I recall going to one that opened locally on the first night and the manager insisted it'd be the best chicken I ever had. I mentioned being from Nashville and he just outright said "nevermind, but try it anyways"

>>15004148

>needing sauce
pathetic
anybody that can't appreciate the pure taste of a perfectly fried chicken tendie has had their taste buds ruined by decades of hyperprocessed preservative-laden rot, or else has burned their taste buds off with menthols and malt liquor, and needs capsaicin on their tongue just to feel anything

>>15004376
It's all a scheme to sell sauce. you need one sauce container per two tenders, and a whole nother for the fries. that means three sauces. >>15004389 is right that the garlic toast is the right substitute, but that means I'm buying two sauce containers. While their sauce is good on the chicken it's really a pretty garbage sauce for that price I mean it's just mayo ketchup and pepper. There's just nothing special to justify an extra 50 cents on my meal. Especially when gods true chicken will give me chick fil a sauce the mixture of Jesus' piss and the cum god used to impregnate his mother for free. I will have a blessed day by supporting a fast food chicken restaurant that aligns with my morals. Fag.

>Raising Cane
as a boy from the south that name brings back a lot of unpleasant memories. please don't reference this store again in the future

>>15004160
is that really the best they could do? just look at that photograph. the longer you look at any individual ingredient the worse it looks

>>15007040
btw they put an entire disc on onion on it. it might look good in a photo but who the fuck would want to eat that? I love onion and I would rather eat it as a side

>>15004146
Mix your favorite hotsauce into the Cane's sauce. That's the only way it'll be palatable.

>>15004391
On a scale of 1-10. How much of you die inside when you say that Chicken Chicken Chicken thing when someone comes up to the drive thru

>>15004408
Because America spent decades being the undisputed best country in the world and they still have a chip on their shoulder through our decline.

>>15004146
Sir those are dogs.

>>15004149
brands live rent free in the minds of americans.

>>15007069
prove it faget

>>15004391
Why is it that every time I go through the drive-thru the person on the intercom goes "hey chicken chicken, you want some chicken"

>>15004408
America is pretty close to being a third world country these days

>>15004160
breakfast menus were a mistake

>>15004148
>>implying you also don't eat at chains unless you're from a complete shit hole.

pro tip: ask them to butter both sides of the toast. it means that you get fresh toast every time, and also it's crispier. ofc no slaw extra toast.

>>15004146
I had the same experience. Crispy exterior, juicy, tastes like.... ??? The sauce was legit though. Even though it was lit. just a basic ass fry sauce.

The fact it's actual meat tenders and not reconstituted rib meat blowdry sets it above most US chains however

>>15007424
>ofc no slaw extra toast.
This. Coleslaw is awful. I don't understand all the people insisting you need extra sauce, though.

t. BR anon

i actually like the slaw there but yes always extra sauce cus that chicken has no flavor
