Elevating Cane’s, the Baton Rouge, LA-based quick informal fried hen chain based by Todd Graves in 1996 that serves solely fried hen fingers (additionally obtainable on a sandwich), crinkle-cut fries, Texas toast and cole slaw (beneath proper), opened as beforehand introduced within the print editions of the Neighborhood Information on Jan. 28 at 25952 S.R. 56, Lutz, subsequent to Rock & Brews. And, primarily based on the crowds that had been nonetheless filling the parking zone greater than per week later, we all know persons are enthusiastic about it!
Jannah, photographer Charmaine George and I had been there on opening day and we additionally attended the restaurant’s comfortable pre-opening VIP occasion on Jan. 27 — and I’ve to say that we had been all fairly impressed. Sure, the menu is straightforward, but it surely’s carried out proper — the hen fingers are flippantly seasoned (NOT in any respect spicy!), super-crispy outdoors and moist on the within. The fries are also crispy and attractive (and seemingly not seasoned, apart from flippantly salted, which I recognize), the Texas toast is legit and the cole slaw is creamy and has only a trace of sweetness.
For those who solely like spicy hen, this isn’t the place for you, as even the Thousand Island-style “Cane’s sauce” affords no warmth in any respect. However, in case you like your hen additional crispy and attractive, Elevating Cane’s is unquestionably price visiting!

Though Elevating Cane’s advertising rep Stephanie Wielinski (in crimson in picture beneath) made it clear to everybody on line that being first didn’t assure receiving one of many prime prizes, Realtors® Chad and April Emory of Emorys Rock Realty (go to EmorysRockRealty.com) and I didn’t assume that was truthful, so we went forward and bought sufficient present playing cards to cowl one 12 months of free Elevating Cane’s for these devoted younger women
