Panera Bread Bakery Cafes(www.panerabread.com) have been cooking up some exciting new menu offerings premiering this fall, with a day of free taste samples on Thursday, September 10.
Along with a new Breakfast Power Sandwich (pictured above) featuring Vermont cheddar and ham on grilled whole grain bread are two new chicken-based salads: a BBQ Chicken Chopped Salad, and a Napa Chicken Salad Sandwich served on Semolina Bread. Panera hasn't forgotten those with a sweet tooth, enlarging their dessert offerings with a Macademia Nut Blondie flavored with butterscotch chips.
