Raising Cane\u2019s CEO Todd Graves could go without veggies in his to-go box. More specifically, his go-to Cane\u2019s order includes the box combo, extra toast and extra sauce\u2014and no slaw, he said in a TikTok last month<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n The fast food executive admitted he\u2019s not a fan of coleslaw, adding \u201cthat\u2019s why you can trade it out,\u201d in Joe Bonham\u2019s \u201cFinancial Flex\u201d social media series.<\/p>\n His reasoning for including the shredded salad: \u201cI wanted a vegetable component to the meal, and coleslaw is a Southern thing.\u201d <\/p>\n As the post went viral, one user asked the exec to swap the coleslaw for mac and cheese. Others pleaded to keep the coleslaw on the menu. Customers who order the Box Combo get four chicken fingers, crinkle-cut fries, Cane\u2019s sauce, a piece of toast, coleslaw, and a drink.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u201cI appreciate a CEO who can admit he doesn\u2019t like something from their restaurants,\u201d said another comment on the TikTok post.<\/p>\n The viral CEO\u2019s unapologetic distaste for the coleslaw arrives at a time when fast food customers are paying close attention to how company execs promote their products\u2014err\u2014food. <\/p>\n We have all seen the miniature bite McDonald\u2019s CEO and chairman Chris Kempczinski took out of the Big Arch burger. What followed was \u201cburgergate\u201d: fast food CEOs like Burger King and Wendy\u2019s creating cringe-worthy knockoff content, and audiences turning on the pile-on brands, leaving the original video as the victor. Amid the social media mockfest, the customers in the drive-thru are the ultimate decision makers.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
