This was such a crock of shite and shame on LSU for doing it. Canes is a Baton Rouge-grown company and Todd Graves is a diehard Tiger fan.

Aramark is cheaper. You must think LSU cares what the fans want



This, LSU gets a way bigger cut using a company like aramark.

If they used canes they wouldn't make nearly as much.

Because they didn’t want to contract through Aramark’s shitty employees.

Quality Control, why would they tarnish their reputation by letting a bunch of Aramark employees fricking up something as fried chicken fingers?!?!

You'd think there would be, considering Les and O endorse them and the first one to open is walking distance from Tiger Stadium. Only thing is someone needs to tell Coach O never to say "extra slaw" ever again.

They moved their headquarters back to BR, as far as I’m aware


They did not, that's why if you go to dallas, more specifically Frisco Texas where the dallas cowboys moved their practice facility to you'll see the nicest canes restaurant ever in the Star.

Canes has great Texas toast and their soft drinks are really good. Everything else is overrated. The chicken is bland and you need dipping sauce. I’m not a fan of their sauce because of the stuff that’s in it.

I'm pretty sure Popeyes is the official chicken of LSU even though the nearest one is pretty far from campus

Because we are a backwards state and institution. LSU has never been an innovator, or even a follower. When I was a freshman in the early 2000s we had to suffer through shitty pentagon and highland dining halls. Meanwhile, Va Tech, Auburn, Georgia, and NC State had fantastic food hall style dining facilities.

LSU was content with surly canadians serving up over cooked fried chicken and sandwiches.

I loved my time at LSU, but goddamn is that place always behind the times and backwards

LSU is too chicken to put Canes in Tiger Stadium.

For the same reason Canes has never changed or added to their menu. What they do now works fine so why do more?


Wish they had breakfast!

They do, San Antonio airport.


Everything that everyone has said on this thread is mostly incorrect and/or not the case anymore. That’s all I’ll say.

Why would you need one in the sports venues when there’s 2 in front of all of the sports venues? Get your fix before and after the game like the others.

All of this is true. There’s literally no denying it. The staff is usually friendly as well. Chick Fil A all day over Cane’s.
