I've really never been a fan of Panera Bread after a number of quite average meals. Thus, it's never been on my list of go to spots for lunch or any other meal. But... I have to take it back after being dragged (and that's not too much of a stretch) to the Uptown location on College Street yesterday.
My colleague recommended one of the pannini's so I went with half a smoked turkey/bacon and a cup of creamy tomato soup. I will officially admit that both were quite good with the soup being just a tad better than the sandwich. Beyond the food, I appreciate the calorie counts on the menu board and the choice of an apple as one of your sides. I of course chose a baguette and proceeded to snag a bunch of butter packs (real butter, another plus), but still, it's nice to know there's a healthier option for when I am being good Tom.
All in... Good show Panera
