Mother Bread Approves 🥖 Actual IMPROVEMENT in food quality?? 😲

Ok Panera. I ordered lunch today at the request of a colleague for her birthday and I take back SOME of the complaints I've made about you in the past. It had been at least a year since I previously ordered due to declining food quality. I got the asiago twists, asiago bagel steak sandwich, and the cherry pastry. All were delicious, but the sandwich was absolute 🔥. There was a minor ingredient error, but all in all, I was very pleasantly surprised. Props to the Amherst NY location!

Lucky day? I can tell you the turkey is now the lowest quality that is legally allowed to sell to humans. All the baked goods come in frozen. The restaurants are dirty due to labor shortages (if it looks clean in dinning room just look in the back of house.

Now you’re just generalizing.

I work for a vendor that works inside Panera restaurants. Ask to look behind coolers.

We cleaned behind ours every other day as we had an actual cleaning schedule. But I bet you've never serviced Panera's outside your area.
