| - This review is for takeout/catering. Salad and sandwiches were on offer, with sides of pickle spears and little bags of potato chips (which I ignored completely, sorry to potato chip fans who need to know).
This was the first time I remember having Panera Bread Co. sandwiches. They were small, so I picked two: avocado BLT and Mediterranean veggie. They were notably colorful, fresh and delicious. I noticed there wasn't a whole lot of filling, but the fillings were so strong that it wasn't overwhelmingly bready. No one goes to Panera for low-carb, but I was impressed with their cleverness at choosing, for example, feta cheese instead of mild cheddar. It doesn't take much feta to flavor a sandwich.
I am not a pickle connoisseur, but I thought the pickle spear was acceptable. I passed on the salad -- currently the news is full of stories of E. coli-contaminated Romaine lettuce and people in dire straits health-wise, so it seemed foolish to push my luck. I think there was lettuce in the sandwiches, but I decided to ignore that and just enjoy the meal... I hope that's not famous last words!
