Football is back, and whether you\u2019re cheering from the stands, setting up a tailgate or parked in front of the TV, one thing is certain: you\u2019ve gotta feed the team.<\/p>\n

Anthony Arreola and Issac Saunders from Raising Cane\u2019s Chicken Fingers joined Sierra Waggoner and Trevor Scott for the We Are Austin Tailgate Show with a game-day spread and plenty of ideas for feeding football fans all season long.<\/p>\n

For the Raising Cane\u2019s<\/a> team, football season is an exciting time because it brings together so many of the things the brand is passionate about \u2014 families, fans, community and, of course, craveable meals. From small watch parties to packed tailgates, Arreola and Saunders explained that Cane\u2019s has options designed to make feeding the crowd one of the easiest parts of game day.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re feeding four or five people, fans can grab individual meals like the popular Box Combo. For a much bigger crew \u2014 think 25 hungry football fans \u2014 Raising Cane\u2019s offers larger Tailgate orders that make it easy to put plenty of chicken fingers on the table without spending game day in the kitchen.<\/p>\n

\"If<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re feeding four or five people, fans can grab individual meals like the popular Box Combo. For a much bigger crew \u2014 think 25 hungry football fans \u2014 Raising Cane\u2019s offers larger Tailgate orders that make it easy to put plenty of chicken fingers on the table without spending game day in the kitchen.<\/p>\n

The classic spread includes Raising Cane\u2019s<\/a> chicken fingers alongside favorites like crinkle-cut fries, Texas toast, coleslaw and the restaurant\u2019s signature Cane\u2019s Sauce.<\/p>\n

Planning ahead is easy, too. Arreola and Saunders shared that customers can order online or through mobile ordering, choose a pickup time and have everything prepared fresh and ready when they arrive. Customers can also call their local Raising Cane\u2019s restaurant directly to arrange an order for their group.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s no such thing as too much Cane\u2019s Sauce<\/p>\n

Of course, Sierra had another priority for this year\u2019s tailgate: making sure there was enough Cane\u2019s Sauce.<\/p>\n

\"There\u2019s<\/p>\n

There\u2019s no such thing as too much Cane\u2019s Sauce<\/p>\n

After deciding the traditional sauce cups simply weren\u2019t enough during a previous Raising Cane\u2019s appearance, Sierra arrived at this year\u2019s Tailgate Show prepared with a drinking hat \u2014 complete with lemonade on one side and Cane\u2019s Sauce on the other.<\/p>\n

\"Of<\/p>\n

Of course, Sierra had another priority for this year\u2019s tailgate: making sure there was enough Cane\u2019s Sauce.<\/p>\n

Even Arreola and Saunders had to admit it was a first. They had never seen anyone take their love for Cane\u2019s Sauce quite that far.<\/p>\n

When it came time to reveal their personal Cane\u2019s orders, the team had their favorites down to a science. One go-to is a Box Combo with no coleslaw, extra Texas toast and an extra Cane\u2019s Sauce. Another is the Caniac Combo with all six chicken fingers ordered extra crispy.<\/p>\n

Trevor has developed his own strategy. He likes to turn the meal into a sandwich, stacking chicken fingers and a few fries between pieces of Texas toast before adding Cane\u2019s Sauce and eating it all together.<\/p>\n

Raising Cane\u2019s stays connected to Central Texas<\/p>\n

Game day isn\u2019t the only time you\u2019ll find the Raising Cane\u2019s team out in the community.<\/p>\n

Arreola and Saunders also shared how important local involvement is to the company. Because Cane\u2019s crew members don\u2019t just work in these communities \u2014 they live in them, too \u2014 the team looks for opportunities throughout the year to support organizations and causes important to its neighbors.<\/p>\n

\"When<\/p>\n

When it came time to reveal their personal Cane\u2019s orders, the team had their favorites down to a science. One go-to is a Box Combo with no coleslaw, extra Texas toast and an extra Cane\u2019s Sauce. Another is the Caniac Combo with all six chicken fingers ordered extra crispy.<\/p>\n

That involvement includes areas like education, pet welfare and active lifestyles, along with partnerships with local groups working to make a difference.<\/p>\n

Organizations interested in working with Raising Cane\u2019s can visit Cane\u2019s and Community online, fill out their information and connect with the team to learn more about fundraising and support opportunities.<\/p>\n

That makes Cane\u2019s an option for more than Saturday tailgates and Sunday watch parties. Local booster clubs, sports teams, schools and community organizations can also turn to their neighborhood Raising Cane\u2019s when they\u2019re looking to feed a group or explore ways to work together.<\/p>\n

From four or five friends watching the game at home to a 25-person tailgate outside the stadium, Arreola and Saunders showed there are plenty of ways to build a Raising Cane\u2019s spread around your crew.<\/p>\n

\"Organizations<\/p>\n

Organizations interested in working with Raising Cane\u2019s can visit Cane\u2019s and Community online, fill out their information and connect with the team to learn more about fundraising and support opportunities.<\/p>\n

And if you\u2019re following Sierra\u2019s game plan, just remember one thing: always order extra Cane\u2019s Sauce.<\/p>\n
