Title: The best lunch combo option. Post by: Dave Gray on February 18, 2010, 03:21:26 pm I had lunch at Panera Bread today, so this was on the brain, but the concept applies to most every quick lunch-type place.
Discuss. Title: Re: The best lunch combo option. Post by: MyGodWearsAHoodie on February 18, 2010, 03:24:12 pm this time of year...i would do soup and sandwitch....in the summer either sandwitch or sandwitch and salad.
Title: Re: The best lunch combo option. Post by: Sunstroke on February 18, 2010, 03:29:30 pm I was torn between "1/2 sandwich and cup of soup" and "large soup in bread bowl," but the answer I was really looking for was "full sandwich, bowl of soup, cobb salad and a couple of cannolis for dessert." Title: Re: The best lunch combo option. Post by: Dave Gray on February 18, 2010, 03:34:26 pm I think that Hoodie is correct. The standard of 1/2 sandwich and soup can't lose. ...but sometimes, if I want to go a little lighter, I'll go with sandwich and salad.
Title: Re: The best lunch combo option. Post by: bsfins on February 18, 2010, 03:44:40 pm Can I get a burger and fries?(perhaps Onion rings? Jalapeno Poppers? Maybe a foot long Chili cheese coney? Large Iced tea.
I admit,when I go out out to eat for lunch,I usually get a chicken sandwhich,and maybe a side Coleslaw,Fries, baked potato,baked beans,onion rings ...Sandwhich and a side... Title: Re: The best lunch combo option. Post by: Phishfan on February 18, 2010, 03:55:07 pm 1/2 a sandwich isn't enough for me, even with the soup. I need a full one.

In Miami, Hoodie would NEVER order the soup. Up here where the temps often only have one digit...absolutely. Title: Re: The best lunch combo option.

Panara Bread is a St. Louis based company and here it is called St. Louis Bread Company. /back on track Soup in a bread bowl can't be beat. Title: Re: The best lunch combo option. Post by: SportsChick on February 18, 2010, 07:54:47 pm I love Panara - I go with the tomato/mozzarella panini and french onion soup
Title: Re: The best lunch combo option. Post by: Brian Fein on February 18, 2010, 07:57:14 pm Soup and Salad is the way to go. The sandwiches at Panera are overrated.
Title: Re: The best lunch combo option. Post by: ToticoLicker on February 18, 2010, 08:30:04 pm Nothing like the soup in a bread bowl.
Title: Re: The best lunch combo option. Post by: dolphins4life on February 18, 2010, 08:44:31 pm I don't each lunch. I eat breakfast and dinner.
Title: Re: The best lunch combo option. Post by: Sunstroke on February 19, 2010, 12:10:09 am ^^^ I've had a really weird eating schedule the last year or so... During the week, I am awake at 7:30 AM, but don't eat anything most days until after work around 5 PM. The only time I break that is if BoSoxGirl sends Fau to work with some cookies or brownies or something. I eat a standard-sized meal around 5-5:30 PM, and then I follow up around 8 PM with a light meal or snack (like a ham/cheese sandwich, small cobb salad or single slice of french bread pizza), maybe a couple of small snacks (2 cookie type) between then and midnight. Crash around 2:30ish... The more I hear about Panera Bread, the more I want to actually eat there one of these times. I get a large coffee from there most mornings on the way to work, but have never sat down for a meal. Title: Re: The best lunch combo option. Post by: dolphins4life on February 19, 2010, 12:40:33 am ^^^^
I eat breakfast because to take my ADHD medication, I have to have food in me or I else I get sick. I have 15 meals a week in my plan at Northeastern, so I eat 2 a day. If I work out, I eat a meaty dinner afterwards at like 4:15 or so If I don't, I eat whatever I feel like. Northeastern makes great food. I like their stir fry chicken, mixed with rice. For soup, clam chowder is the best. Of course, I have a HUGE sweet tooth. I love butter-based vanilla frosting on chocolate cake, or uno's deep dish sundaes. I also like blondies and brownies. I LOVE to talk about food. Title: Re: The best lunch combo option. Post by: fyo on February 19, 2010, 05:12:30 am For soup, clam chowder is the best. That would be clam chowdah...

Get the bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich and a cinnamon crunch bagel to go with that coffee for breakfast. For lunch or dinner, try your fav soup in a bread bowl. I loved this salmon salad that had red onions and roasted peppers in it, but they took it off the menu. Title: Re: The best lunch combo option.

I may have to bake you cookies Just for the shout out :) If you go for breakfast, the best is the asiago bagel with the sun dried tomato cream cheese...it's like a breakfast pizza of awesome. The fuji apple salad and the Bacon Turkey Bravo is the best lunch option. Title: Re: The best lunch combo option. Post by: Sunstroke on February 19, 2010, 11:10:19 am If you go for breakfast, the best is the asiago bagel with the sun dried tomato cream cheese...it's like a breakfast pizza of awesome. I just had to replace my keyboard, which shorted out due to uncontrollable drool-drippage... That sounds so damned good that I might need to rethink my whole no-breakfast position. Sun dried tomato cream cheese...mercy, I believe I could eat a tub of that with nothing but a large spoon for accompaniment. Title: Re: The best lunch combo option. Post by: BoSoxGrl on February 19, 2010, 01:31:15 pm ^^^ Yeah it's fucking awesome...and I don't even like tomatoes in general.
But that stuff is amazing. Title: Re: The best lunch combo option. Post by: Philly Fin Fan on February 19, 2010, 03:46:14 pm The tuna salad sandwich is great at Panera as well. They put a mustard on it, which may not sound good (mustard and tuna), but it tastes amazing! They also have a great portobello mushroom sandwich.
Title: Re: The best lunch combo option. Post by: StL FinFan on February 19, 2010, 04:16:44 pm ^ I like their tuna salad and I don't like mustard. (usually)
