I don't have much evidence to support this claim, but as best I can tell Chick-fil-a has far superior food quality than Raising Cane's. Chick-fil-a holds their ingredients & preparation to the same high standard as they do their customer service, whereas Raising Cane's is much more hit-or-miss, a lot more like the McDonalds or Burger Kings out there.

One thing you can look at is the nutrition label. Total calorie counts aren't so useful IMO, but Raising Cane's reports that their foods have unhealthy trans fats, while Chick-fil-a reports 0 trans fats.

Raising Cane's makes me sick whenever I get it, whereas Chick-fil-a is extremely well digested for me.

Do you eat a lot of junk food generally in your diet? That could be one reason why maybe your gut bacteria are craving the worse quality food & causing you to not enjoy CFA as much.

No, but you're going to make the claim anyways, aren't you?

Ah, yep. I can tell you've had some bad experiences with Raising Cane's.

Both of them make me sick! I can't digest either.

I think I have to ask you the same question! Do you eat a lot of low quality fast food? That could be one reason your gut bacteria are craving food from a fast food joint instead of something that isn't deep fried and covered in Polynesian sauce.

Why so hostile? We're just talking about fast food man, lol.

No, I don't, which is why I don't crave fast food. I get Chick-fil-a once or twice a month for fun.

To me, fast food is fast food.

Your comment about your preferred deep fried bird eatery being better than another commenter's preferred deep fried bird eatery just came off as bizarre.

My poison is better than your poison.

>Do you eat a lot of junk food generally in your diet?

No. Though I will admit that I've had access to Chick-fil-a since the 80s, so it's kind of blase to me now. Newness has a quality of its own, I guess.
