where did the name raising canes come from
Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers Graves and Silvey, who both worked as salmon fishermen in Alaska to raise money to open the first Raising Cane's restaurant, were going to name the chain Sockeye's Chicken Fingers, after the Sockeye salmon they fished for. They were later convinced to name it after Graves's dog, a yellow Labrador, "Raising Cane," called "Cane" for short. The name is also a pun on the term "Raising Cain" or "Raise Cain", which is biblical reference to Cain and Abel in the Book of Genesis, and its a term meaning to cause havoc or create problems. "Raising Cane I" died of old age, Raising Cane II died on 11 September 2016, and the most recent mascot for the restaurant, Raising Cane III, was announced by Graves on 27 January 2018. [6]
