This isn't about 
matters for this specific thread, so for the sake of diversity of responses I welcome any and all feedback about the place. I never ate there, never intend to eat there, and just by glancing at the prices they're comically high, even for a contemporary fast food restaurant.
Why the hype? Why the massive lines? Are chicken tendies from that specific location that magical? I have no fucking clue.
It's the sauce
People don't know how to mix ketchup, mayo, salt and pepper and some pickle brine together
So it's like the hype wave for Popeye's and before that for Chick-Fil-A? Why does breaded chicken in particular get hype waves?
The wave generator keeps functioning, and something inevitably has to fill the 24/7 dopamine content cycle we’ve been conditioned for.
I think most people who eat meat like fried chicken with a good sauce
Raising Cane's has a good sauce, that's about it
I'm pretty sure that's why they like Chick-Fil-A too
Because it tastes good.
Edit: I don’t get the big deal with chick fil a but popeyes fried chicken has been pretty crispy every time I’v e been, and fried goodness is always going to ingratiate itself with your taste buds.
Add a ton of granulated garlic and go heavy on the pepper and that's basically exactly Cain's sauce and Zax sauce.
I eat there because it’s half decent fast food chicken that isn’t ChikFilA. I throw out the sauce.
