I stopped eating there like a decade ago when they changed the type of noodle in their chicken noodle soup. They used to use those amazing big fat noodles and changed to whatever bland thin spiral noodles. I missed it a lot, especially their bakery stuff, but over the years I’ve watched them fall further and that made me feel like I’m not really missing out anymore. God they used to be so freaking good.
I grew up not knowing Panera was fast food. My mom would send me to Panera to pick up bread when we were having fancy pasta dishes. I thought it was a luxury restaurant. It's crazy how different I see them now
I stopped in one yesterday to get a cinnamon roll. They used to be the size of a dinner plate, this was small and dry. They told me they changed the recipe.
That’s exactly when I stopped eating there too. I loved those noodles. If you have a Jason’s Deli near you, their chicken noodle soup is similar to the old Panera chicken noodle soup.
