They have a Panera near my work now. It definitely beats T-Bell and other horrendous choices in my location of working for the man. It’s a fairly new location, and I’m not sure why I haven’t gotten to it before now! It was pretty good, too. Today’s sandwich is the Italian Combo, and drink is the Caramel Iced Coffee. Tastee.

This wasn’t earth-shattering, but dammit, it’s better than the fast-food sandwich joints around. Even better than some local sandwich delis. I’m really looking forward to trying some of Panera’s panini sandwiches. That will be most excellent. No complaints, though…everything was really good; I would recommend Panera to a friend. Or you. What’ve you got to lose?

I forgot the pickle spear in above pic. Oh, and the straw that comes with the frozen coffee. That is great. Different color with different drink. And huge! No missing with these bad boys. Like a miniature blowgun. You could fit something obscene in that.







I’m all about Panera’s Panini’s. There was one they had a while back, spinach, cheese that was really good. There bread bowls are intense too but I’ll save that for a soup blog.
