The greatest fried chicken in the world is coming to Downtown Chicago today
The biggest thing to happen to Chicago since the Cubs won the World Series will be happening on today at 10am. Raising Cane’s, the Louisiana-based chicken empire, is making their way downtown and opening a humungous location inside the historic Montgomery Building along North Michigan Avenue near Madison Street. Doors officially open at 10am for an all-day party featuring Cane, the brand’s mascot, the Chicago Bulls DJ (DJ One Change), and giveaways including free Cane’s for a year.
Cane’s is in the midst of a massive Northern expansion that has taken the company away from the South, exclusively. In 2021, they opened a location on Clark & Waveland, down the street from Wrigley Field. Case the Producer encourages everyone to try the downtown location, however, as he’s become very concerned with the long lines at the Wrigleyville location.
More information on the Cane’s grand opening can be found here.
