\nOctober 20, 2016:<\/strong> Specialty marketing for this Raising Cane’s in downtown Baton Rouge had to improvise after LSU coach Les Miles was abruptly panic-fired<\/a> in a Les-Miles-fashion loss to Auburn.<\/em><\/p>\n

In my Big South Trip of fall 2016, I got some new experiences in both hotels and food. After getting stuck in a traffic jam in Baton Rouge, by the time I reached the hotel I was pretty tuckered out. The only (non-bar) place to eat within walking distance was a chain I’d barely heard about called Raising Cane’s. Its specialty is chicken fingers.<\/p>\n

And hot diggity daffodil, it was delicious<\/em>. The sauce made it even better.<\/p>\n

But Cane’s is young and Southern-born, and so pretty much a regional chain, until recently. The chain expanded to Omaha at the beginning of 2013 and there are now six in the area including one in Council Bluffs<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Its second location in Iowa will open\u00a0at the end of the month<\/a>. It’s in West Des Moines between I-35 and the south Wal-Mart, i.e. on a section of Mills Civic Parkway that’s had more businesses open this millennium than many towns in Iowa have had any<\/em> millennium.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
