Craving chicken fingers, South Beach? A Louisiana fast-food chain has landed and made its debut off Lincoln Road, adding to the growing number of eateries it has planned for South Florida. Raising Cane's — founded in Baton Rouge by Louisiana State University student Todd Graves on campus in August 1996 and named for his Labrador Retriever Raising Cane — opened its second Miami-Dade restaurant at 1651 Washington Ave. last week to a line out the door, company spokeswoman Julia Doyle said. The eatery with a following of loyalists called Caniacs features Cane's special sauce, crinkle-cut fries, sweet tea and the hallmark tenders.
