Who We Are

One Dream, One Love

We serve only the most craveable chicken finger meals. It’s our ONE LOVE.

Todd’s vision, our mission

Chasing The Dream

A Restaurant that only serves Chicken Fingers? The business plan received the lowest grade in a college class because the professor said it wouldn’t work. When he tried to get loans, the banks said no, but Todd wasn’t giving up.

1995

Working Hard Todd travels to Los Angeles to work as a boilermaker at an oil refinery, grinding through 90-hour weeks to raise the money to fuel his Restaurant dream.

Fishing for Chicken

Learning from a fellow boilermaker that he can earn even more money commercial fishing, Todd travels to Alaska and camps out on the tundra for a month before landing a job on a boat to fish sockeye salmon in Bristol Bay, working 20-hour days in harsh conditions

1996 Returning to His Roots

Todd returns home with his hard-earned money. Coupled with an SBA loan, he has enough to start building his Restaurant.

Construction

Renovations begin on an old building at the North Gates of Louisiana State University. Todd, along with friends and a few contractors, does a lot of the work himself. 

A Sign of What's to Come

During the renovation, Todd chips away at a stucco wall to discover an old painted mural of a bread bakery. He took it as a literal sign that this was going to work. The design later becomes the inspiration for Raising Cane’s logo and is why each Cane’s has a mural.
