Twist of Cane’s
Another day. Another drive into wild, wide roads of New
Jersey…. Krüde has a paying gig that takes him here, there and just about
everywhere that NJ has to offer. A recent drive took me down the NJ Turnpike
to the Exit 5 area ( lower part of NJ) to see if I could convince a kitchen
cabinet retailer to use my kitchen cabinet business as their source for sales.
But enough of the boring work stuff. The biggest joy within my current employment is
rolling into unknown areas and experiencing what the locals experience. As in finding
AWESOME places to chow down at. Burlington Township, NJ was my
stop.
I give to you: Cane’s
Actually it is Raising Cane’s Chicken Fingers. Perfectly
named fast food joint. The chicken fingers are the specialty. And special they
are. Lightly battered and floured then fried to perfection. Crispy, not burnt
outside. Juicy and tender on the inside. To accompany the fingers was their own
dipping sauce. Tastes like no other dipping sauce I’ve ever tried. Mild
flavor, not spicy. Perfect for the chicken. Add the crinkle fries and some
buttered Texas toast (plus a fountain Coke) and the $11.99 I paid was beyond a
reasonable price for such an incredible lunch. No joke. Best chicken fingers
I’ve ever had. Welcome to NJ, Cane’s. You are officially Krüde Approved.
Adding to the overall experience was the super cool interior of the place. Disco balls, wall of famous local athletes (see foam finger from 1976!). And the ultra hip One Love sign above the cash registers. Saw the noted college football pundit Kirk Herbstreit as their celebrity spokesman. That dude knows a good thing. And I do too. Go to Cane’s Chicken Fingers. You will not be disappointed. Mahalo
