Raising Cane’s founder and CEO Todd Graves recently admitted in an Instagram interview that he doesn’t like the coleslaw served at his own chicken-finger chain. When asked about his typical order, Graves replied, “Box Combo, no slaw, extra toast and extra sauce.” This revelation sparked a lively debate among commenters, with some agreeing with Graves’ sentiment and others defending the coleslaw.

The Coleslaw Debate

Graves explained that he wanted a “vegetable component to the meal” when he created the menu, and coleslaw is a traditional Southern side dish. However, he personally doesn’t care for it. The coleslaw has become a topic of discussion on social media, with some people passionately defending it and others suggesting alternative side dishes like potato salad or pickles.

Despite the mixed opinions, Graves emphasized that the coleslaw is not going anywhere. He stated that Raising Cane’s focuses on serving high-quality chicken finger meals and doesn’t plan to introduce new items or limited-time offerings. The restaurant’s menu has remained the same since it first opened nearly 30 years ago, featuring chicken fingers, Cane’s Sauce, coleslaw, Cane’s toast, and crinkle-cut fries.

Raising Cane’s recently opened its 1,000th location in Hollywood, California, and has six new locations set to open this month. The restaurant’s commitment to its core menu and values has contributed to its success and loyal customer base.
