Can confirm.. current boss ran sales for a group who put on a massive party for him/Canes upper management… some of the stories I’ve heard are fantastic.

Todd, why is it that the size of your chicken fingers went down while the prices went up

I shook his hand once when I worked for Raisin Canes. Seemed like a good dude, heard through the grapevine that he and upper management liked to party, but never confirmed.

So, anybody got any Graves stories?
So when he first started Cane's at the north gate of LSU, I was jogging down sorority row and came across a binder. Picked it up and saw it had a business card in there and all the info in the binder matched the guy on the business card.
I call up there and tell "this guy" that I found his binder and it had cash, SS card, credit cards and a bunch of other personal stuff.
This guy asked me to bring it to him and I was thinking to myself "what a prick, he's going to inconvenience me when I'm the one doing him a solid" so I relented and brought it to him as I was living closeby anyway.
So I go up to Cane's to bring this guy his binder and sho' nuff, it was Todd Graves' binder. He told his manager "hey, get this guy Idle some fries for his time " haha I'm glad he has become successful and I know quite a few people who work in the Dallas HQ

Met him twice. Friendly, engaging, pretty down to earth for the short time we talked.

A few times, super nice guy. And he was super nice to my kids the one time we all sat in a suite together.

I'd love him if he bought out BK, and then we hired Cignetti. Then pawn off BK on another college like Va Tech, so we don't have to pay the entirety. Buyouts aren't a lump sum, they just continue paying him as if he were still employed weekly... another school picking him up would decrease it.

If his net worth is really $22 bil (I just saw $17 bil like 4 months ago), $50 mil is only 00.2% his net worth. Someone worth $100k, that's like $200 to them.

I can legit say the guy is cool. He has a passion and really enjoys life. I’ve got plenty of stories to support it but would never tell without him present. Take away all the money and fame and you’d still have an awesome time hanging out with him.
I’ve known him for about 30 years and worked for him for nearly 10. He’s a couple years older than me but we went to the same high school. I was there working on opening night. I’m sure some in here could figure me out. I’m sure I probably know some here too.

Have never met him, but I’ve never had an issue with him stealing his idea from lanes in College Station, he absolutely improved the product and brought it to the masses and I probably eat way too much of it

Don't know him, but do know when Jay Johnson wants a player and needs the $ to make it happen, Graves cuts a check. He may have gone to UGA for undergrad, but any talk of him not supporting LSU is BS.

I was at Ruffin's foundation dinner awhile back and Todd Graves was there. I was one of the few faces that you wouldn't recognize in the room. He walked over introduced himself, gave me a handshake and talked to me for about 5 minutes. Couldn't be a more laid back, bro type. He didn't have to do that.

know him well. all the posts on here are accurate as to him being down to earth and a genuinely nice person.

No neck douche who thought he could order drinks after closing. Lousy tipper.
