"Fry the Coop, a local chain specializing in Nashville hot chicken fried in beef tallow, is facing competition from Raising Cane's. Owner Joe Fontana expressed concerns on Instagram about the impact of a new Raising Cane's location on his business at 2404 N. Lincoln Avenue. Fontana founded Fry the Coop in 2017, with the Lincoln Park location opening in October 2023, offering affordable options for students at DePaul University and nearby Lincoln Park High School. Despite being a fan of neighborhood growth, Fontana is concerned about losing business to the national chain, which offers lower prices." - Ashok Selvam
