If it weren't for that sauce, Cane's would have never had a second location and closed within a year.

Their tenders aren't near the same now as they were at the original location in the late 90s.

Fair enough. The only Cane's I've ever had has been the version that exists and is consistent across the board today. If they used to be better then that would explain a lot.

Man, I remember the name, but don't know if I ever ate there.

The "bad" thing about MSG is that it makes things that are really bad for you taste even better than they would without it.

Seems like they'd want to be more 'forward thinking' now that they have success rather than going the 'Chinese buffet' route and soaking (LITERALLY) their food in MSG.


Forward thinking actually realizes that there’s nothing wrong with MSG and the hoopla around it that used to exist was actually rooted in racism.

The Canes on Highland and State opened when I was at LSU.

I guess it's the difference between being a small, locally run restaurant vs being a big chain now.

Wow... I didn't realize so many people would disapprove of a simple question. 60 downvotes/9 upvotes? Geez. Do up/downvotes actually count for anything, or is it just a 'popularity' device?

In any event, I like MSG. When I lived in the Philippines (most of last year, and half of the 2017) I carried my little panda-bear bottle of Ajinomoto MSG in my backpack with me to most places. A number of girls asked me why that was, because according to them, "Americans all hate MSG". That being said, at least overseas they're up front about it. "MSG" is the only thing they call it - unlike here, where it's generically named "Accent" and the actual ingredient name can only be found somewhere in super small print on the back.
