Panera Bread Is a Pastry Paradise

We finally ate at Panera Bread — and while the bakery items impressed, the rest of the experience was a chaotic medley of kiosk confusion, bathroom code injustice, and raw onion overload. I'm joined once again by Lyss Johnson (comedian, friend, and former Panera employee) as we break down every detail of our in-person visit to the iconic soup-slinging, salad-stacking chain.

Can the cinnamon crunch bagel save this spot from mediocrity? Or is Panera coasting on vibes and vending machine tech?

📟 Ordering Kiosk Nightmares and the Case of the Disappearing French Dip
🚽 Bathroom Codes Are Inhumane – Let the People Pee
🍪 The Cookie That Made Us Chipper (and Maybe Changed Our Lives)
🎨 Lettuce Art, Cucky Murals, and Farmer-Flattering Decor
🎶 Off-Brand Pop Anthems That Broke Our Brains
🐔 Lyss Johnson's Score, a Chicken Bag Horror Story, and the Panera Perverts
