Thank you! Finally a restaurant chain committed to "clean" ingredients that you can feel good about eating. I was delighted when Panera came to the Phoenix metro area.
One of my favorites are their Corn Chowder (seasonal in summer) and the Southwest Chile Lime Salad (photo). The chicken is pulled and put on the salad and has such flavor! Because it's real and not some pressed breast with fake grill marks on it! Recently tried the Mac 'n Cheese made with pasta shells. Homemade baguette comes with your order of soup or side dish. Great comfort food!
Sandwiches are pressed on a panini grill if you'ld like it hot. Their breakfast sandwiches are made with real eggs that you can order scrambled or over easy.
