Raising Canes but in true LSU fashion Todd stole the concept down to,the sauce from Guthries. A company that originated in Alabama.
Been saying the same for years.
Auburn has a few big names. Harbert Management Corp (the business school bears is name), a dude who co founded Wikipedia, and of course, Yella Fella.

founders of Turner, Performance, and Shaw all graduated LSU in the same class and same major.
Wrong…that’s an incorrect statement.

He and the guy who started Zaxby’s worked at Guthrie’s.

Nothing earth shattering here, but I actually ate at Guthrie's in Colorado Springs (of all places). It just opened.
Their chicken fingers, and sauce are identical to Cane's, which makes sense. Their fries are not as good as Cane's (personal preference -- too thick). And they don't provide a piece of Texas Toast with their 3 piece combo
which disappointed my daughter, because we split the meal. This post was edited on 8/13/26 at 6:27 am

Is the Joe Burrow brand an industry?

Maybe.
Shaq is clearly a good bit ahead on that, though.

Lod Cook was great and very generous LSU alum. He wasn't a founder of companies but an executive who made things run better. A fun YouTube feature is: LINK
He would have rather not be known for his Global Crossing affiliation. Winnick, a financier, founded the company headquartered in Bermuda to lay cable. Cook provided a face for the company that went bankrupt. There was suspicion of executive insider trading and use of peculiar telecom accounting that allowed expenses to be counted as assets.

Went there just to go somewhere different. Big party school and something new.

The girl that makes the sparkly clothes has gotta be up there. She has women paying $250 for a sparkly sweatshirt in the middle of summer.

You got it mixed up. The LSU Construction Management class of 1972 featured Art Favre (Performance), Eddie Rispone (ISC), and Pepper Rutland (MMR).

MMR?

No, Turner has over 20,000 employees and is one of the largest maintenance contractors in the Country. You would be closer to compare them to larger companies. Cajun has a niche and they do it well, but they are more mid-level and their civil division is larger than their mechanical.
