Panera Bread did it to me again.

It smells like broccoli cheddar soup in here.

Not in a good way.

But screw or I'm having that soup.

Also it's really crowded for a chain joint in one of the most hipster neighborhoods in America at 2:45 on a Thursday.

We don't have Sprite.

We have Sierra Mist.

So what. It's self serve. But hey points to you for saying 'no.'

The counter lady is my mortal enemy.

keep it coming 33rd. keep it coming.

BTW- I did a favor for someone recently, and they thanked me with a Panera gift card.

I don't get the chip rant above. It's the same # of chips as a Doritos or SunChips bag at Subway but in a smaller bag so it actually appears fuller.

Genius!!!!

[33anda3rd]

The thing that has the spoons and napkins is equidistant (like 12 feet) from a coffee station on one side and the cold bev station on the other side.

Inefficient for the guest. Inefficient with labor $$$.

[33anda3rd]

Soup is solid.

Bread is surprisingly solid.

Dipping bread in soup FTW tho.

[33anda3rd]

I like these chips.

[33anda3rd]

Maybe "frontega" is slang for "mucho cebolla."

GDI. My Mrs hates onion on my breath and I was trying to smash tonight.

[33anda3rd]

Wish they sliced the onion thinner and the chicken thicker. The bread is solid but I like a panini to be a lil oily on the outside and this is dry. It's solid though.

$15.99 after tax.

Decent value.

Gus's chicken Tuesday was $20 before tip (3 piece dark + fried pickles + 1 beer - whatever % their F+F discount is) and $30 after tip.

Cemitas Puebla was $24 after tip for Atomica (best sandwich on earth period) + chips + soda after F+F.

At something like 20% less than fancier/better places for B food (graded on the curve of fancier/better options) it's a good value.
