Time after time, this issue has been brought to my attention. Colleagues, friends, acquaintances, family members, these are just a few people who have approached me to hear my thoughts on this matter. Well alas! The wait is over.
Round 1: Chicken
Because both of these restaurants focus mainly on their quality of chicken, it only seems fitting that I start here.
Chick-Fil-A offers many types of chicken, including: fried, grilled, and chicken salad. Canes on the other hand, only offers one: fried. Canes is miles behind on this one.
Winner: Chick-Fil-A
Round 2: Fries
Remember when I said, "my opinions are the only ones that matter"? Well you knew what you were getting yourself in to, Canes fries are infinitely better than Chick-Fil-A's fries. Waffle fries have always been and always will be the runt of the french-fry litter. They hurt your mouth because they are rock hard unless cooked to absolute perfection and even then they are still sub-par. Canes has perfected the art of the french-fry and for that they win this round.
Winner: Canes
Round 3: Sauces
Have you ever tried canes sauce? It will change your life. Need I say more? Actually I will say more. I know what you are thinking, you probably are wondering why I gave Chick-Fil-A the advantage over Canes because their chicken selection was more diverse but now Canes wins even though they have one sauce. As much as I would like to explain my reasoning, I won't. Moving on.
Winner: Canes
Round 4: Drinks
This one is actually surprisingly tough. Both restaurants feature your average run of the mill soft drinks on tap. They both, however, offer lemonade as well as homemade sweet tea. Both are great in their own ways, but the edge here goes to Canes. I may or may not have flipped a coin to decide that one, but what choice did I have.
Winner: Canes
Round 5: Dessert
Chik-Fil-A may have the best fast food shakes out of any restaurant in general. When you add on their new frozen lemonade as well as the classic sundae's and soft serve that they provide it seems tough to beat. Meanwhile, over at Canes headquarters, no one in their right mind has thought to add dessert to the menu. I have tried to wrap my head around why they refuse to do so for years now and still can not find a reason.
Winner: Chik-Fil-A
Now the moment all of you I'm sure you all skipped to instead of simply reading each round. It is time to announce the winner of this edition of Food Wars.
The winner is ... Chick-Fil-A!
The knockout punch here were the shakes. If you love Canes and hate me, thats dope. Congrats Chick-Fil-A on being our winner winner chicken dinner.
