I Dream of the Day Cane's Comes to Town
I wanted my chicken to have bones in it... like God intended.
In my Newspaper Columnist days, I even made the President of the
Chicken Council in Washington D.C. upset! I wrote a piece about Jamie Oliver, the yuckiness of feeding chicken nuggets to our kids and was it really even food??…
I was being silly, the Chicken Guy wasn't amused. He rebutting me with a rebuttal to the editor.
There is life before Cane's and life after discovering Cane's.
Over 16 plus years ago, my Number 1 son ‘made’ me eat at this new place in Slidell, Louisiana.
Raising Canes.
To my surprise, this fast food restaurant's menu did not include anything but chicken tenders…
Once, I
had eaten a McDonald’s nugget.
My expectation was low.
WELL, It was love at first bite.
OMG…it was delicious.
AND WHO Needs ketchup! Once I ventured down the road of Cane's sauce...I became hooked, addicted even!
My obsession began and my family all were introduced to the power of the Cane's. Life was good. We were all happy.
Until......
Hurricane Katrina.
Not long after the events of 2005, we moved to Huntsville
Alabama.
Now, I love my surrogate hometown! We have lived here for almost 11 years.
However, there is a big BUT.......
The Rocket City has one major failing ….NO CANE’s!
WE hope. WE wait. WE suffer.
If only I had investors!
If only I had money!
If only someone would step up! Donate! Give to the cause!
Maybe I need a Go-Fund me for a Raisin' Cane's in Huntsville...after all, MSTK 3000 came back that way??
How serious am I and my kids about this?
During a holiday trip back to South Mississippi, we left late afternoon and we all agreed to save ourselves for the nearest RC which according to the website locator was located in
Tuscaloosa, AL. Starving, we arrived at 8:30 pm to discover to our horror the location turned out to be on the University of Alabama's Campus. Not only
could we not sneak up and get some, but due to the Thanksgiving holidays the
eateries were all closed.
Gasps of disappointment...and HANGRY people rode to the next whatever fast food place to fill their empty bellies...
In Hattiesburg, Mississippi my Cane-loving young
men ate as often as they could, even taking their 86 year old grandmother and 90
year old grandfather who are now hooked. Granny doesn't eat much but at Cane's she gobbles down two tenders!
We have seen a Cane's next to a Chick Fila and tho both were very busy, it was Cane's that was kicking butte and taking names.
 |
| A recent Tweet contest...Canes was winning 7.1k to 1.7k for Chick Fila. |
I am not getting any younger, so my plea, my hope is that one day I will have a Cane’s in my
own South Huntsville area…
If I could have my wish I would win the lottery and then use that capital to invest in a Raising Cane's!
If you feel the need to make good money, or to make happy the mouths of many Southern
fried chicken eaters, and employ fine young people, then take up my challenge
and open up a Raising Cane’s franchise in my beloved Huntsville, Alabama.
Thank you and God bless Cane’s.
