Am I the last person in the Northern Hemisphere to hear about this joint? Jim Cramer from CNBC was talking about the stock price, I casually ask wifee " Have you heard of Panera?"
"Hahahaha ...dummy" was her less than polite response.
So I seek out Panera Bread. On W.Lake Mead & Rainbow it's easy to find. I've driven by about 50000 times but today I stop in. Very busy parking lot needs a few drive arounds to find a spot.
Once inside it's PACKED! Every table & booth is full. Lots of super nice helpful staff.
I order a Chicken Cuban panini and a soda. I'm offered a side of chips, apple or bread. I choose apple, it's actually an apple , real not slices in a packet. Excellent . I wait about 2 minutes and the sandwich is ready. Simply fantastic, tasty, hot melted cheese on ham & chicken. I think a top 10 sandwich of all time in my lifetime. Cost almost $11 for sandwich & soda but worth it.
Parking aside, a class act.
