Tried it. It’s decent, but not the same. Anybody that says it’s the same must have had their taste buds dulled by covid.

Cane’s sucks and I’m not sure why anyone would want to substitute an additional slice of that dry arse toast.

I doubt it’s much of a secret if they’re mixing it at every location.


Any former or current employee that isn't a dumbass can easily make it at home.

I actually tried the slaw once, really wasn't that bad. Just not a big coleslaw fan.

They make it out to be this holy grail of sauces. And it's just not.

One of my roommates worked there and used to make it every day. So I mean hardly a secret if all the workers knew the recipe (or the receipt, you say).

Maybe they get it shipped in now and don’t make on site. This was 20 years ago. But it still tastes the same as it did.

Made quite a few batches of canes.

Everyone is forgetting about the MSG.

It may seem like a dramatic effort to hide a sauce recipe, but many consider the sauce to be the glue that holds a Raising Cane's meal together

They definitely put a lot of black pepper. I add black and white pepper to my dupe. Need to let it sit for 24 hours for the flavours to blend.

The white pepper gives it extra depth and umami.
