Canes is a knockoff of Laynes back when LSU came to Kyle Field and got their arse handed to them. Some LSU grad stole the idea/formula.

1. Raising Cane’s did originate in Baton Rouge, home of LSU (go Tigers!) but the owner did not attend LSU – he attended and graduated from the University of Georgia in Athens, Ga.

2. As far as the comment that it is likely that the idea for Raising Cane’s came from Layne’s because Layne’s opened before Raising Cane’s and LSU played Texas A&M in 1992 – There’s a chicken finger restaurant that’s similar to Layne’s named Guthrie’s. It began in 1968 in Alabama. It has locations that predate Layne’s throughout Alabama, Georgia, Florida and Mississippi. Did Texas A&M play any games in any of those states in the 60s, 70s, 80s or early 90s? If so, it seems not only plausible, but likely that the idea for Layne’s came from Guthrie's. Or maybe the idea came from Zaxby’s the chicken finger restaurant that started in 1990 and has locations all over the southeast United States.
