I suppose that I should mention that I have a requirement for vitamin G, so I will probably have to visit Raising Cane's.

Thumbs up.
I hate when people go out to eat at a place and then complain that there isnt a specific type of food, look at the menu online, go to places that serve what you want, or stay at home and cook.

Re: Raising Cane's
Stay home, nobody has to cook for you.
From your post im guessing you have 10 working fingers, learn to use them.
Re: Raising Cane's
Um...it becomes manifestly apparent within about ten seconds of entering the front door that they have 1) fried chicken strips 2) fries and 3) Texas toast, and the only real choices are how many of each you want, so beyond that, if you turn in an order, then go on the internet and complain, to paraphrase a really filthy joke, "you don't just come here for the hunting, do ya?"
Love me some Cane's. They are the quintessence of the business model of 'do one thing, do it very well'.
Sorry they didn't have arugula to your liking.
Re: Raising Cane's
I wonder if Cane's has a policy regarding bringing in healthy salad stuff and whatnot (like from the SuperTarget next door to the one on N. Penn) . . .

Lol, gotta love the mentality of Oklahomans. "Don't take away my cigarettes".
I'd NEVER eaten there and had NO CLUE that they only offered fried crap. It was a spontaneous decision to eat there (driving by) because the wife wanted it when we drove by.

Re: Raising Cane's
Same thing almost happened to me. But in my case my friend, who happens to be a rocket scientist, was with me and once we were inside studying the menu, he explained how the chicken was immersed in hot oil to cook it. Since I happened to have a hankerin' for a big salad that day, I suggested we go somewhere else.
Re: Raising Cane's
I've been watching what I eat for close to two years now, dropped a good chunk of weight, but I gotta tell ya with all due respect it is infuriating to read these self-righteous condemnations of places that don't follow the "healthy" cult.
Its also infuriating because, in and of itself, no one food is arbitrarily bad or good. Anything to excess is the problem. You make a habit of deep fried stuff? Whether its Cains or french fries or whatever, that's not a good habit. You want to splurge on Cains once in a while? Great. Go for it.
How many people who preach the "Healthy" gospel don't buckle their seat belts? Talk on their cell while driving? Take Tylenol for aches and pains like they were M&M's?
Just seems like the "Healthy" mantra has become an easy to leverage, new form of contemporary theology we can use to bash folks or businesses. It gets tiring. Don't like what they offer? Don't eat there.

To keep it "healthy" I trust you only put half the jar of Blue Cheese Bacon Dressing on the lettuce . . . =)

RM,
I would never put 1/2 jar of blue cheese dressing on my salad, with all the croutons, cheese, onions, bacon bits, and sunflower seeds there isn't enough room! Maybe 1/3 of a jar would work.

Rasing Cane's- Main & 36th
Just drove by on my way home from work, right in front of Wright's next to Arvest, saw the "coming soon" sign for a Raising Cane's. Finally a chicken option west of I-35.

There is one of these going in SE corner of NW 23rd and Penn. They FINALLY tore down the old eyesore patio place.
Re: Raising Cane's
Hey . . . Remember that whole "7 Habits of Highly Successful/Effective/Whatever People" thing from back in The 90's by that Mormon Covey Dude? Remember the "Synergize" part? Okay . . .
So . . . What if Raising Cane's "synergized" with some Veggie outfit like "Coolgreens" or whatnot and opened an "Annex" (like Ted's has) to cater to the Healthy Options demographic??? The diners arriving together could go their separate ways but still stay in contact by cellphones!!!! Sounds like "Seeking Win/Win t' me . . .
Re: Raising Cane's
(I accidentally stumbled across this snippet--from another website--and thought immediately of this thread) . . .
To Be, Or Not To Jollibee (from Quezon City, Philippines)
(I’m in line at a very well-known chicken fast food place. It’s lunch hour, so the place is fairly packed.)
Cashier: “Hi, what can I get you today?”
Customer: “Oh, I don’t know. Do I want a one-piece or two-piece meal?”
Cashier: “Well, people usually order the two-piece at this time, since it’s supposed to hold them for a few more hours.”
Customer: “Okay, a two-piece meal then.”
Cashier: “Would you like that ‘Original Recipe’ or ‘Hot and Crispy?’”
Customer: “I don’t know. What’s the difference?”
Cashier: “Um, the ‘Original Recipe’ tends to have softer skin and a tangy flavor, while the ‘Hot and Crispy’ is spicy and crunchy.”
Customer: “Oh, I’m not sure which one of those I want. The ‘Hot and Crispy’ might be too spicy for me.”
Cashier: “Don’t worry, our ‘Hot and Crispy’ isn’t really that spicy. It’s just enough for a kick in the taste buds, no more.”
Customer: “Maybe, but I might want extra mashed potatoes with it.”
Cashier: “If you order the full meal, you get a large side dish with your food.”
Customer: “What if a large is too big? I don’t want to eat all that much.”
Cashier: “Well, ma’am, the containers are behind me, so you can decide for yourself if large is too big.”
Customer: “Hmm… wait, what if I don’t want chicken for lunch?”
Customer Somewhere In The Back: “WELL YOU’RE IN THE WRONG F****** RESTAURANT, AREN’T YOU?! STOP HOLDING UP THE LINE!”
(If I had been there I would have paid for "The Customer Somewhere in the Back"'s order . . .)
Re: Raising Cane's
This is too much like the usual "I'm clueless about everything"
waitstaff that most restaurants hire. I can't tell you how many times I've
asked if something was good and the waitstaff idiot-person would say
something akin to, "I don't know, I don't like (such and such) tee hee hee".
Tee hee hee was the clincher. I would have rather heard the idiot-person
say it sucked or wasn't worth the money. This akin to ordering
Chicken Alfredo (Alfredo is Italian) at a French restaurant and having
the idiot-person ask if I wanted fries with it.
Last but least...
I Believe a $0.10 tip is rather eccentric but I'll still pay the usual
20 or 25%. Maybe I should stop being kind and start being honest.
Re: Raising Cane's
Wouldn't ordering Chicken Alfredo at a French Restaurant be a bit like ordering Coq au Vin at an Italian joint?
Or a Chicken Fry Alfredo at Vast?
(wish Phil Custino--or whatever his real name is--was here to clarify that . . .)
Re: Raising Cane's
Si. Oui. Dah. Yah. Vai. Ndyio. Ye. Yes.
For the linguistical ignorant these are, and in order, Yes in Italian, French,
Russian, German, Greek, Swahili, Chinese and English.

Re: Raising Cane's
I've got to be the Linguistics Police here. "Ye" is not yes in Chinese; it means "Coconut." You're looking for "Dui" (sounds like dway) and is spoken with a sharp, falling tone. AND back to the topic we go...
Re: Raising Cane's
That puts a whole new spin on "Hear Ye, Hear Ye" . . .
"Hi! My name's Ye . . . I'm a healthy dining option. Except when fried."
"But don't look for me any time soon on the menu at Raising Cane's."

Canes
We just ate there for the first time this week. I know everyone else has probably tried it already, but it was really good. It's going to be one of my new favorite places. It hit the spot and the whole dinner was good without being overly expensive. Can't wait to go back.
Re: Canes
I've been to Raising Cane's a couple of times and really liked it too! While I thought that $7.00 for three strips, some fries and a drink was just a little bit "spendy" it was certainly good, so maybe the price was actually quite fair.
Here's a recipe for one of the ("top secret") highlights of the dining experience:
1⁄2 cup mayonnaise
1⁄4 cup ketchup
1⁄2 tablespoon garlic powder
1⁄2 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
Generous amount of black pepper (cover surface two or three times and mix in)
Combine all ingredients. It will start to look and taste right as you blend them together, but it is best to let the sauce sit for a few hours before serving.
I would probably add some sort of "Cajun" seasoning and some Louisiana Hot Sauce to the mix even if that might render it inauthentic.
