Had it for lunch today. I feel this way every time I eat Cane's. Damn, this is good [expletive].
What is Raising Cane's? Those words mean literally nothing to me. Is that a restaurant?

Fast food; specializing in chicken tenders. It is pretty good especially after a late night of debauchery.

Mediocre fast food chicken tender joint with weird sauces. Nothing special IMO, but to their credit it is breaded and fried to order.

The sauce is great; nothing mediocre about it.

It's named after the founder's dog.

Was the dog named Cane, or Raising Cane? It's the use of a verb in the gerund in a restaurant's name that weirds me out.

I guess you could have a restaurant called Charlie's Eating or something like that. Enjoying Sam's. Loving Earl's. Digesting Tom's. Kissing Cousins'. Wait what.

From their website
The name of the restaurant was going to be “Sockeye’s Chicken Fingers” after the Sockeye salmon I fished for in Alaska to raise money to start the restaurant. Luckily, a friend convinced me to name the first restaurant after my dog, “Raising Cane. ”During the renovation of the first restaurant, Raising Cane used to hang around the building site. The first Cane was a friendly, yellow lab who loved to be around people. Raising Cane I has since passed away. My wife Gwen surprised me with a yellow lab puppy one Christmas and I fittingly named her Raising Cane II to continue the legacy of our namesake. Cane II has become a very popular and well-known dog and stays busy with restaurant visits, community activities, and is often with us at our Restaurant Support Office. As a certified pet therapy dog, Cane II takes weekly visits with Gwen to Children’s Hospitals.
