American fast food restaurant Raising Cane’s has Australians in a chokehold. It all started with viral car mukbangs on TikTok.
From across the globe, Aussies were getting served up bitesized reviews of Raising Cane’s, featuring the massive cups of peach-coloured sauce, crispy chicken tenders and toasted potato bread. One that really resonated was this video from Cian, which featured a fondue machine filled with Cane’s sauce being operated in a car.

The need is so strong that local restaurants have been taking matters into their own hands and coming up with “dupes” for Raising Cane’s most popular meals. Thank goodness for initiative!
Zara — our resident Raising Cane’s expert and BuzzFeed Australia social producer — headed out in Sydney in the name of delicious, mouthwatering research. On her “To-Try” list were three Sydney restaurants going viral for their dupes — Flappy’s Fried Chicken, Pappa Flock and Kerbside Eatery.
Here’s the verdict:
At each smudge , Zara ordered a similar repast to what ’s see in the viral Raising Cane ’s mukbangs — three tenders , child / french-fried potatoes , goner and of course , the effete sauce .
First up, Pappa Flock!
Before walking into Pappa Flock , Zara had heard it was " the best " Raising Cane ’s dupe .
The chicken tenders were juicy and coated with a crispy , yummy batsman , which couple very well with the excess slaw .
But when it came to overall similarity, it wasn’t exactly what she expected.
It missed the mark on the sauce, which Zara said “tasted nothing like Raising Cane’s”, but still had good flavour regardless.
The toast was a short too pantry for her liking , but the meal was bring through by the thick - cutting off chips . She also tried the lemonade , and like that it elevated the buttery taste from the toast without being too sickly sweet .
Next, Flappy’s Fried Chicken!
Zara began with the sauce this time, and Flappy’s scored immediate points for the cup size amount of it — just like the ungodly serving from Cane’s. “This is as close as I think you could get to the OG sauce,” Zara said. “It was incredible.”
Now, let’s talk about the chicken that prompted Zara to look into the camera with eyes wide open, surprised and happy.
Just look at this spread…
And finally, to round out the dupes — Kerbside Eatery!
Much like Flappy ’s , the chicken was juicy and in reality " tasted exactly like Raising Cane ’s " , according to Zara . But overall , she only shit nine out of 10 .
Now let’s chat about the fries. Although they “tasted nothing like Raising Cane’s” crinkle cut chips, they still scored a 10 out of 10 on the yummy scale.
Out of the three, the winner for most accurate Raising Cane’s dupe is Flappy’s Fried Chicken!
