People, if you like chicken breast fingers, brave the traffic mess and head over to the Raising Cane's on 48th across from Best Buy. I left a brief note about this over at Swoof's blog earlier today after rushing in for a take out order, but I just can't get that experience out my mind.
OK I realize that deep fried chicken fingers aren't exactly a gourmet dish, and are in the minds of many people yet another staple "fast-foodish" type of entree you will find in most casual restaurants (many people I am sure associate them with the ubiquitous bags of frozen fried chicken breast tenders you can find in any store). To make a winning fried chicken finger that sticks out amidst all that is already available, you really have to knock it out of the park. In my opinion, eating the Cane's breast fingers was the gastronomical equivalent of listening to Miles Davis' "Ascent" (In A Silent Way, 1969) for the first time. The Raising Cane's chicken breast fingers were definitely juicy (not dry like so many others offered in restaurants), with a fresh-taste unrivaled by the other fast food chains, and a relatively minimalist batter that let the chicken meat do most of the talking. In other words: tasty pieces of heaven in my mouth.

best post title ever.
It is refreshing to see a different type of chicken finger though. When 90% of places use the extremely over breaded peggler ones, it was a nice change. I might have just been lucky, or it is how they do things. But it was prob the cleanest fry oil I have ever encountered at a place in lincoln. The fingers, fries, were really clean tasting. And the toast has a garlic essence.
