They’re so different and their sauce is completely outside the norm as well so you almost have to retrain your expectations. They’re now among our favorites but I worry if that will eventually be their downfall. Hopefully it will remain what keeps them secure

Canes is the absolute worst. I have no idea how they got so big all of a sudden in an area that’s already flooded with restaurants that already sell chicken strips. It tastes like they bought generic frozen chicken fingers from the grocery store, and those frozen Oreida crinkle fries. You ask anyone who claims they’re good, and they’ll talk about the sauces. If you need a sauce to make your food palatable, then it’s not good.

Throughout US History we had an issue about food. Chicken here has always been the go to cheap meat. Where do companies go to cut a dollar off beef but bump chicken up 2 other than deep fried pleasures. Nuggies are a joke for kids (please don't feed your kids too many nuggies nor eat them to "save" your child) but tendies. no tendies are that bae bounty for the spouse that didn't cheat. same slurry, tweaked "better" or maybe - just maybe it didn't go through a garage disposal before it became a tendy. Ya. eat it. yum yum. Instead, maybe pop chicken thighs from a store for an hour in the oven with shake of seasoning. Then, and only then, will you learn how can someone enjoy crack cocaine. because oven baked chicken thighs, are crack. At least though, its healthy. buy some steel wool to bust that down dirty bois ad girls, bauck bauck don't be a chicken use the bones for some stock.

In my opinion, the reason KFC has gone down is because of the quality of the workers. I use to love KFC, but over the years I've noticed the employees that work there are just less and less friendly, less diligent and attentive. In contrast, whenever I go to Chick'fil'a or Raising Cane's the employees are always friendly and energetic. I think this also reflects in the food they serve. Employees who are passionate about what they're doing, make better food, than people who don't care. KFC in Japan, is apparently still amazing. So I don't think it's their product fundamentally.
