PANERA: We loved the original items! Instead of spending money on making more nonsense … spend money on ingredients and make the items heartier… like they used to be! I remember back in 2007 to like 2015, ordering soups and sandwiches for lunch and they were HEARTY and FILLING! Now, you spend a ton of money and are still hungry after eating your meal at Panera.

Ice 2 at a time, top with the corresponding topping. Eight pieces. Chocolate cinnatop gets melted chocolate and some sea salt. Fudgetoo gets diluted icing. Candy one gets the candy cookie and 1 tbsp of candy pieces and white icing.

Focaccia is pronounced with a hard c and it should be light and fluffy but with a decent amount of olive oil in and on it. It should also have large pockets of air from fermentation. I would never use focaccia for a sandwich though. Open sandwich max but a lot of the time it's used for dipping in balsamic and olive oil etc.
