This week, a Plano Raising Cane\u2019s<\/a> gained a celebrity<\/a> temporary employee: Jake Connelly.<\/p>\n

Connelly is known for his recent role as Derek Turnbow (or Delightful Derek) in the Netflix series Stranger Things.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Fresh off his breakout role in Stranger Things Season 5, Jake Connelly clocked in for a high-energy \u201cshift\u201d at Raising Cane\u2019s in Plano, serving Box Combos and surprising hundreds of cheering fans alongside owner and founder Todd Graves.

\u201cFighting monsters in the Upside Down was hard, but I think serving hungry fans is harder!\u201d Connelly<\/a> said. \u201cMy family has always loved Raising Cane\u2019s since it opened near our hometown in Chicago, so being here with Todd for my first brand deal has been really fun.\u201d<\/p>\n

On Tuesday, he joined Raising Cane\u2019s owner and founder Todd Graves to shoot ad content, learn what it takes to be a Cane\u2019s employee and serve up some tenders.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy family and I are huge fans of Stranger Things, especially Season 5 with Jake,\u201d Graves said. \u201cHe\u2019s an incredible young actor who\u2019s just getting started. Jake is chasing his dream just like I chased mine of opening a Chicken Finger Restaurant. We\u2019re proud to be part of his journey and excited for what\u2019s ahead.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"He joined Raising Cane’s owner Todd Graves to shoot ad content, learn what it takes to be a…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":203416,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[160,162,161],"class_list":["post-203415","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-plano","tag-plano","tag-plano-headlines","tag-plano-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/203415","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=203415"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/203415\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/203416"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=203415"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=203415"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=203415"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
