As someone who works for panera i can assure you every single one of these dishes took them way longer than usual and they made sure they looked amazing
So... Hear me out, the next 20 restaurants you do should be mom and pop local restaurants. Buy the whole menu. Get folks excited about supporting small businesses.
That's a fantastic idea! Sadly Delish is getting paid by these chain restaurants the profit for advertising. They wanna make money they wont support local businesses
“Let’s appreciate the fact that…” Stop saying “the fact” when stating a fact. Unless you’re trying to tell a lie, those words are completely redundant. You’re welcome. Your entire comment sounds like what an AI comment generator would come up with. You’re basic af
in connecticut, that would be Au Bon Pain. the 'other' panera. and in Hartford, ct. both the big hospitals, (Hartford hospital and St. Francis) have ABP's in them. fun fact, when the cafeteria is closed in both the hospitals, ABP is the only place you can get food. so yeah. 'hospital food.' I still eat it though.
When you're Hospital serves a full on Turkey Dinner every Thanksgiving.... then Panera actually not what I would consider glorified hospital food. Cause sometimes the Hospitals in Oregon become a Legit Dinner option when you really don't want Red Lobster.
this is my formal apology for getting nearly 60% of the breads wrong, I would like to blame it on the frontega chicken sandwich for being so f**king delightful but it's really truly my fault
Idea: Julia goes to these chains incognito and compares the quality when they don’t know she’s coming from Delish with a camera crew. Would be fun to see which chains are (& aren’t) consistent lol
Well, considering that NOTHING is cooked in the restaurant, PANERA would be pretty consistent. Only thing cooked in the bakery re the breads and pastries that arrive refrigerated or frozen to each stor
@@gioch6409 although I totally get where you're going with that, a ton of people noticed that all of her sandwiches had WAY more meat and fillings than normal, so they probably wouldn't be as consistent as you're assuming.
Think RU-vid is not Delish’s only source of income, doing this will put them in a very bad position - loosing most of the cooperations with F&B businesses.
They made your sandwiches extra special bc they’re never lined up and filled so perfectly. That’s why you actually got full eating their sandwiches. Usually I would have to accompany my sandwich with a soup in a bread bowl and a salad to get full! Thank you for your descriptions, you’ve helped me make awesome choices! Love your videos!
You are not wrong. We have specific portions for each item, main one being 1.75ounces of meat on each half sandwich and half salad. 3.5 for a full salad. For our prices the portions should be doubled but corporate FREAKS out.
Dang so it costs a lot to eat thr..I'm just asking cus I never been but always wanted to..lol..everyone please stay safe and blessed much love from San Antonio TX
You ain’t never lied. The You Pick 2 is my shit, but I always spend like 18$ on a half of a sammich, and a cup of soup. And I continue to go back for more lol.
The reason they visit chain restaurants as opposed to local small businesses is because viewers can probably find a location close by if they’re interested in trying some items on the menu.
“Stump” is about the best name I’m ever heard for the centre of a bread bowl. Also, I can’t get over that she just bites the bread bowl like and apple. F*cling amazing ❤️
@@user-hu3xi3je2x a lady yelled at me that she wanted a box and I offered to put the pastries in the box for her and she yelled “can I just get a box I don’t understand what’s so complicated about that” and the person training me just left me at the window during the rush
@@kellyanne2642 Clients believe that because they pay $ 15 for a meal that gives them the right to be disrespectful to you, as if one is obliged to know and understand the mental idiots that they have inside their head that only they themselves understand
I worked at Panera in high school and the frontega has always been the best. We got to take a bunch of food home at the end of the night and they would always donate the leftovers to shelters every night. Such a nostalgic post for me. The blondie they used to have were so good and the pumpkin muffies. They have gotten rid of a lot of my og favorites.
!!!!! Omg that's like two moderate meals. I mean as a treat it's fine but omg haha. Looks good though!!! Just wish it was bigger. I really wanna make oat cookies with marshmallows, crisps/chips, choco chips. 😋 Maybe nuts too for my family.
I really would love to see Keith from the Try Guys and Julia do a collaboration because they both have done whole menu item videos. That would be an amazing video to watch! The jokes alone would be golden!
You guys always make a shitty, poor mental health kinda lockdown day better. Thanks Julia, thanks Chelsea, thanks Delish. All of your videos tbh. I love you guys 🙁❤️
I work there and we are supposed to put 1.75 ounces of meat per half. honestly isn't that much meat but its so the calories will be correct and they can make sure every sandwich is almost the same.
Better off going to Jersey Mikes, way more meat, more filling. Better prices too. I get full on half of a 6", and have another half for another meal. Panera fills you up on bread, not protein.
Julia is my favorite taste tester on RU-vid, primarily because she's honest, well spoken, and is so descriptive in her assessments. I'd love to see her review imported instant ramen from around the world.
Love the video! As a former Panera employee, the frontega and caprese are on focaccia and the baguettes are french bread not sourdough! Very common mistakes though :)
As a former Panera employee my soul hurt listening to her say so many ingredients wrong 😭 Like bro it's not chipotle mayo on the bravo please have the menu with you lol
My solution: You get a you-pick-two with the Mac and cheese and the broccoli cheddar soup and then you get a separate bread bowl. Then you pour both things into the bread bowl. Then, you can get bites with just one or the other, and bites with both (and you also get the bread bowl)
When I order Panera for my family at lunchtime, I order the family meal with four sandwich halves, the chicken noodle soup, and the Caesar salad ... and I order one kitchen sink cookie to split three ways. This episode reminded me that I need to order from Panera tomorrow.
The Greek Goddess Cob Salad, HANDS DOWN the best salad on the menu. It’s so filling and when you get a baguette, you can use that to make an awesome sandwich.
I used to go in the early 2000's and there were so many good things on the menu they have removed since then. I went so much I had tried everything. It's not the same so I have never gone back 😥
Because people complain about how long it takes to make food and the cost of food that isnt seasonal. If you think about it like a business youll understand 😉
For the longest time I didnt know that white stripe is quite common. I always had one and never really liked it until I watched Frozen. Then I saw so many peoppe had it and it is actually a dominant gene. Makes me so happy. 🥰💛💛
One sandwich that usually isn't on their menu, but they will make all year round, is the Sierra Turkey. It's served on asiago focaccia with deli turkey, mixed greens, onions and chipotle mayo. It's their best sandwich, no competition.
As a Brit and a gluten free person, this video makes me so jealous 😂 That Mac and cheese, and the broccoli cheddar soup both look absolutely delicious 🤤
I'm not familiar with American chains because I'm not in America, but if there's like a cupcake chain that'd be really fun, especially if they do online delivery so that people can support their business during lockdowns.
This was highly anticipated. Loved every minute of it! The Flatbreads and the Bread Bowls are my favorite. And there's no shame in picking that bread bowl up and tearing right into it. I mean, how else are you supposed to eat it 🙄😉 ..... Thanks for this video, Julia and Chelsea! You two are just the best. And a special 'Congratulations' to Julia for becoming an adult 😜🤪😂👍🤟💛🖤
The bacon Turkey bravo is my favorite and I can even remember when they changed the bread it was more sweet and had a sweet crust back like 10+ years ago. I watch your videos to really branch out and try new stuff at my fav places so I think you!
I work there and I don't understand why so many people pay for it, the day I leave the company is the day I never eat it again lmao. Some of the items on the menu are ridiculous too, like the grilled cheese is literally white bread and American cheese toasted. It's literal cheese toast.
Me at the start of the video: Aw, no wine drinking during the video since they're at the restaurant Julia during the video: Here's the alcohol that you should mix with this iced tea *sniff* I can always count on my girl Julia!!!!
I go to the Panera drive-through pretty regularly and I had no idea they had mac and cheese in a bread bowl! I love their mac and cheese and their grilled cheese sandwich and the Asian sesame chicken salad is my number one always!
I'll tell you why, the franchise makes more money selling bread with little bit of meat then they would selling a whole lot of meat. It's all about the company making the big bucks!!
I love Panera. I wish there was one in Portland, OR walkable from downtown. Everytime I visit my family in other places, I go to Panera - it's like a tradition. lol
I do the same thing (order a side of bread with my bread bowl) And then I get butter, butter the bread and dip it in the soup. And drink green tea. pure bliss.
Their pumpkin soup, which they only offer for maybe two months out of the year, is one of the most delicious soups I've ever tasted in my life. Right up there with Cream of Cauliflower soup. 😋😋😋
I get that all the time !!!! I just recently found out that supermarkets have all the soups near the deli section!!!! Its the Panera "at home" brand. It has changed my life hahaha
I think SuperTargets carry the Panera soups at least Broccoli Cheddar, Chicken Tortilla and Wild Rice , although mine runs out easily when they are on sale, which in my case, "my" SuperTarget is across the street from an actual Panera, but it's cheaper to get it from SuperTarget, the one thing I do love about Panera is they do donate their leftover foods to either homeless shelters, food pantries, housing for lower income poor and disabled, at least things that don't spoil easily like breads and desserts.....
I've been to their Panera Bread restaurant a few blocks away from the Transit Museum in Brooklyn, and I love their Broccoli Cheddar Soup in a bread bowl!
