>>21438116Hello 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!
