Ugh. even within the limited circle of fast-food and fast-casual chicken finger franchises, Cane's is bland nonsense. Fried chicken as interpreted by a Star Trek replicator, and not one from the Enterprise, but the Cerritos.
Yeah, I too hate Canes and cannot possibly understand how people think it’s so great.
There are exactly two good things on their menu: the chicken and the Cane's sauce.
And even those aren't good enough for me to go out of my way to get them.
But like, it's not bad by any stretch.
The chicken strips are deep fried Tyson strips
Well certainly not the Cerritos officers' replicators....
They get multiple slices of pizza! AND PESTO!
You take that back!
The cerritos officers replicators have spicy mayo!
Starfleet wouldn't even curse the lower deckers with cane's chicken.
I swear they are only kept afloat by how quick they sling the chicken out, and their toast. It's like people don't know how to make their own toast...
Their sauce is okay (I prefer Layne's), but that's good because it's fuckin' necessary, since I think somebody saw a recipe for the batter that included a pinch of black pepper and said , "Whoa there motherfucker! We ain't makin' ethnic food here!"
Admittedly, when the Cane's comes out it does always look very sanitary and photo-ready. Like, I don't feel like I'm gonna get Salmonella from eating there, but it's just so joyless.
I've been telling people this for years. The only reason they like Cane's is the sauce. And that is easily replicated at home. It's not a particularly special sauce with weird ingredients, it's a fairly generic burger and fry sauce.
The actual Chicken is bland and boring, it's like they don't realize spices exist at all, even salt. Absolutely anywhere else you could possibly go has better fried chicken.
Why you bashing my homies on the Cerritos! Rutherford is doing his darn best to ensure they are working as best they can.
For a company that has like one or two things on their menu, it’s surprisingly bad
