Broccoli Cheddar Soup in a Sourdough Bread Bowl

Broccoli Cheddar Soup in a Sourdough Bread Bowl

The most enjoyable way to eat soup is definitely in a bread bowl. Panera Bread makes this easy by providing an excellent sourdough bread bowl. The broccoli cheddar soup itself wasn't very impressive - it tasted like melted cheese whiz with a few bits of broccoli. ...but eating it in a breadbowl made the experience not only worthwhile, but fun!

Greek Salad

Greek Salad

This was a very good greek salad with lots of cheese. There was too much dressing - I would recommend ordering this salad with the dressing on the side. This wasn't a traditional greek salad - the salad was mostly lettuce, and there were no cucumbers. The dressing wasn't quite "Greek" - it was more of a Vinagrette. The salad was similar to East Side Mario's Salad
