What is known about raising canes?
The company sells chicken sandwiches and chicken finger combos, including chicken cut fries, Texas toast, coleslaw and cane sauce.
Todd Graves, owner of Raising Cane, had planned to call his restaurant Sockeye first.
However, a friend suggested that the company be named after his yellow Labrador retriever, who raised the cane, who spent a lot of time at the construction site at the North Gates first breeding cane site at Louisiana State University.
Dog Cane I was the company’s mascot until his death in 1998. He was friendly and loved to wear Graves sunglasses, the company said.
Cane II, the second mascot of the cane, stepped into her role in 1999. She was a treatment dog that visited patients in hospitals all over the country. As the company’s mascot, Cane II spent time at the company’s restaurant support office and participated in community events until 2016.
Most recently, Cane III, born in 2017, has been appointed as the mascot.
“She loves raising a cane restaurant and stealing her belly from her crew,” the company said. He said that raising a cane fan can follow her on @RaisingCane3’s social media.
