Guthrie's Chicken Fingers
Posted on 7/8/11 at 1:41 pm

I was in Alabama last week and came across this place called Guthrie's. Everything about this place is Raising Cane's. The same "secret" sauce and same flavored chicken strips. Even the menue was worded the same. When I mentioned that this place very closely resembles a place called Raising Cane’s, the owner said, “yes it does, because Todd used to work for me”.
I can’t find much on the internet to back this story up, but Guthrie’s claims to have been around for like 50 years or something. Anyone come across this? Is Cane's a rip off?

Yes, Guthrie's has been there a while. I didn't know about the Cane's owner ever working there, but I always thought Cane's was a direct ripoff of Guthrie's.

Apparently Todd Graves is doing a better job at it so....he's just butt hurt.

Canes got the idea.from Guthries. So did Zaxbys. Guthries is the original. I always thought Guthries made a mistake not opening other locations aroound the South

I think Bailey's in B.R. was there before Cane's too. I could be wrong. Their toast wasn't as good, but other than that same exact shite.

this!
The Chinese found American first (way before Columbus); however, the Europeans did a way better job at finding it and marketing it, hence we look like Europeans and not the owner of the City Wok in Southpark. Likewise, we eat Canes and not Guthrie's.

Hell, I remember when Bailey's was the big chicken finger joint in BR. They were pretty similar as well.

Exactly. The guy from Bama can't bitch all he wants about being copied off of. The fact of the matter is that Todd Graves did a much better job in selling his product.

Bailey's and Cane's are the same place. It changed to Cane's. I think
He did mention that Todd did a better job of marketing. So maybe he's not all that butthurt.
